Olivia White Hospice Home workday 6/22
With a small crew at the garden we were able to finish a path from the parking lot to the garden, add sand to the back patio, water all but the Inferno strips, fill bird baths, plant annuals, and weed all but the Inferno strips. We had some of our regular crew: Nancy Palmer, Leslie Pennick and Elsie Ellis. On Sunday, Doug Grant and Ed Decker planted a new tree in the Inferno Strip.
Thanks yous include:
Nancy Palmer for work on the sandstone hardscape and finishing a path from the parking lot to the garden for residents.
Leslie Pennick for weeding.
Elsie Ellis for watering.
Ed Decker & Doug Grant for planting a large locust tree in the Inferno Strip
New Blooms in the Garden:

New shrubs from the Arboretum Plant sale: Golden Current, Mountain Mahogany.
Others: Indian Rice Grass, Penstemon palmeri (frangrant penstemon) and Meadow Rue
