Olivia White Hospice Garden Workday 6/15
On 6/8/06 we had a small crew of regulars but were able to clean birdbaths, fill feeders (Loni Shapiro), start weeding the Inferno Strip (Laura Davis), finish the glider pad that David Hockman started (Loni Shapiro), clean other beds (Karen Kent) and create a sandstone path from the house to the garden with sandstone (Nancy Palmer). Leslie Pennick also helped Norm Erickson by weeding some of his beds.
Thank-yous include:
Karen Kent - for continuing care for the Rose garden and general clean-up.
Leslie Pennick - weeding
Nancy Palmer - creating a sandstone path for residents
Look for New or Completed Areas in the Garden:
Pad with glider on the back patio (North-East side of property)
New hummingbird feeder from Marilyn Pate
New path from parking lot to walking path for residents.
New color pots with glass bubbles for watering in gazebo
Color pots throughout the garden
Updated sensory pots
Plans for 6/15/06:
Repairing the back patio - sand/dirt
Finishing a path for residents from the parking lot to the garden
Begin mapping out a path from the parking lot to the Rose Garden that will eventually be brick
Weeding, and general garden clean-up.
Hope to see you in the garden this week - Thursday 8am-12pm. As usual park in the Congregational Church lot on Turquoise just past Switzer Canyon or on Turquoise. Wear a hat, sun screen, gloves and bring any special tool you like to use.
Special workday June 17th 8am-12pm
Major weeding
Building a path from the parking lot to the Rose Garden and adding the new arbor as an entrance
The garden, like beauty in landscape, is inimical to all evil passions: it stands for efficiency, for patience in labour, for strength in adversity, for the power to forgive. -----Sir George Sitwell On the Making of Gardens (1909)
Thanks,
