Olivia White Hospice Garden Project
As the season winds down our crew at hospice has dwindled. There were only 3 of us yesterday. I continued to work on dead heading and general clean-up and watered some of the trees and shrubs. Leslie Penick helped by gathering large piles of pine needles to finish mulching the roses next week. David Hockman repaired the Rose Garden walkway. Betty and Ed Marcus donated a nearly new chipper/shredder to the garden. Leslie and I went to pick it up and learn how to operate it. It requires good upper body strength to start, but should be very useful with our new compost pile. Next week we will put it into action, after purchasing some goggles and ear plugs.
Next week may be our last official day in the garden - unless this weather continues.
Thank you this week to:
Betty & Ed Marcus for a shredder/chipper
Leslie Penick for gathering mulch and helping with the chipper/shredder
David Hockman for repairing our Rose Garden walkway
Plans for next week include:
Continued dead heading and beginning to use the chipper/shredder
Continuing to bury lines for the drip
Watering as needed
Putting up the last of the fencing for the aspen
We hope to see you on 11/15 in the garden. Parking is at the First Congregational Church on Turquoise just past Switzer Canyon Road. If you have questions please contact Loni Shapiro at 522-8635 or maxmaddy@infomagic.net.
Thanks,
Loni Shapiro
