Olivia White Hospice Project Workday 8/16/07
Our regular workcrew was in the garden on Thursday with some extra help weeding from Carol. Karen Kent continued to work on the Native Garden pathway on the north end of the house. She also planted a couple of miniture roses for the fairy garden and treated some roses with powdery mildew. Nancy Palmer and Marcia Lamkin worked on planting and hardscape in the Faerie Garden. David Hockman moved another plant and worked on weeding in preparation for the Tea next week. Allen Katte came to repair and clean our fountain and Cynthia weeded and deadheaded. Our new helper Carol did a superb job on weeding a large long neglected area just west of the Rose garden. I spent my day cleaning birdbaths, doing some transplanting, and weeding. If we wanted to go into business we could start a Russian elm tree farm. We must have several thousand seedlings in the garden.
Thank-yous this week to:
Our regular crew - Nancy Palmer, Marcia Lamkin, Karen Kent, David Hockman, Cynthia & Allen Katte, Cynthia Davis and Carol a new volunteer.
New blooms:
Clematis, pink and white cleome, asters.
