Olivia White Hospice Garden
This was a very busy week for the Olivia White Hospice Garden. On Thursday morning we had our regular crew of volunteers moving Irises and weeding. In the afternoon we had a large crew of Americorp volunteers to help create our new Faerie Garden. They did some difficult work weeding, moving rocks and adding soil to build the new garden.
On Saturday Warner's Nursery and Flagstaff Native Plant and Seed donated 10% of their sales to the garden. Several talks were included in the days festivities. Mar-Elise Hill and Ted Martinez were at Native Plant & Seed and talked about local shubs/vines with berries and what to do with them.

Today's Quote
When solving problem, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
