Olivia White Hospice Garden Workday 8/31/06
"To lock horns with Nature, the only equipment you really need is the constitution of Paul Bunyon and the basic training of a comando."
S.J. Perlman Aches and Pains (1951)
On Thursday, August 31, we will have our usual workday in the garden from 8am-12pm.
On the agenda this week:
Plant a Mountain Ash tree donated by Native Plant & Seed
Prepare the ground for the soon to arrive greenhouse
Plant 5 small Gamble Oak trees
Continue hardscape on the Faerie Garden
Water as needed, weed, and clean/fill birdbaths and feeders
New blooms spotted in the garden:
Varigated phlox
Bee balm
Come join us on 8/31 from 8am-12pm, or any part of that time, to work or enjoy the garden. Bring a hat, sunscreen and any tool you like to use. We provide extra tools and gloves for those who need them, and we always have water and snacks. The home is full so be sure and park on Turquoise just past Switzer Canyon or in the Congregational Church lot.
Hope to see you there,
Loni Shapiro
