Olivia White Hospice Garden Workday May25
New blooms this week in the garden include multiple iris and blue flax.
This week we weeded, removed poles from the trees and improved tree rings for watering. Several roses were planted along with germander shrubs. Lettuce, radishes and spinach seeds were planted in the raised beds. Karen Kent continued pruning the roses and began feeding them with a systemic that also should help control bugs. We managed to also get in some much needed weeding and watering.
Thank-yous include:
Bill and Marilyn Pate - watering
Coconino High School - weeding
Flagstaff Youth Corp - weeding, moving gliders and preparing pads for brick
Thursday work crew - Alyson Daley, Karen Kent, Leslie Penick, Elsie Ellis
Plans for this week include:
Moving one tree to make prepartions for a path from the parking lot to the Rose Garden.
Continuing Rose care with pruning and systemic.
Creation of a brick pad for another bench.
Planting 2 remaining tomatoes. (My container class at CCC planted the first 2.)
Weeding and watering.

"The art of gardening. In this the artist who lays out the work and devises a garment for a piece of ground, has the delight of seeing his work live and grow hour by hour; and, while it is growing he is able to polish, to cut and carve, to fill up here and there, to hope, and to love."
Prince Albert (1819-1861)
Thanks,
