Olivia White Hospice Garden Workday 9/7/06
On Thursday much was accomplished between storms. Although we got a late start, a tree was planted (Mountain Ash) by Pam Koch and Karen Kent,
many irises were planted by Karen, Pam and some new volunteer master gardeners,
spinach was harvested from the standing raised bed, the standing raised bed was moved to make room for the new sitting bed and some new colorful coneflowers (orange/red) were planted. I spent my time getting flowers ready for the Coconino County Fair. Leslie Pennick helped weed, got flowers ready for the fair and assisted with Iris. Rick Embry from Coconino Community College came and looked at how to get the greenhouse onto the property.
Plans for next week:
Move more Iris
Move the shed and sandstone pieces in preparation for the greenhouse move
Continue to improve the brick path
Plant some lavender at the entrance to brick path and more fall color for the garden
New plants in the garden:
Orange Meadowbright and Big Sky Sunset coneflowers
Bush Clematis
New Blooms:
Fall Aster
