On August 3 we had a small crew with many regulars on vacation. David Hockman repaired our brick path from the parking lot to the Rose Garden. With the storms and an unfinished walk we had a large wash out. It is looking like new again and a temporary barrier was placed to prevent washout again until it can be finished next week. Nancy Palmer and Marcia Lamkin worked on planting a large new shrub (Mountain Mahogany), and finished relocation of the irises. Elsie Ellis did some watering (not much needed) and bird bath clean-up. The cleome we got from Mary Lou Parliman is about to burst out.
