Hi All,
What a beautiful morning it was when 14 volunteers met July 1, 9 a.m. at the Project GREEN Gardens! The temperature was 63 degrees and in one week our rain gauge showed 2 inches of rain. Those in attendance were: Nick Goergen, Monica Hoherz, Rina Sjolund, Mary Laughlin (total 1 1/2 hour), Jim Peters, Hetty Hall (extra 1 1/4 hour), Susan Ahrens, Jo Pattschull, Evelyn Frey, Chris Ostrander (extra 1 hour), Lisa Haverkamp, Erin Buscher, Cindy Parsons, and moi (extra 1 1/4 hours). Volunteers worked two hours unless noted differently.
We had a long list of goals for week 9. They included: weeding, ID-ing with labels, watering & fertilizing 6 containers and 2 wagons, pulling remaining daffodil leaves, spray painting spring allium balls, checking our beds making sure all was in good shape, and filling the Little Free Library. Below find pictures showing our accomplishments.

As I’ve mentioned many times, the PGG are over 8 acres and LOTS goes on that I am unaware what has been accomplished. Next week’s pictures will show some of our other beds after being mulched. Stay tuned!
Here are the numbers after nine weeks of work at the PGG. Weeks 1 – 8 + Week 9 = 443 hours + 31 hours = 474 hours for Project GREEN volunteers! Many thanks to all!!
We have one week until the Open Gardens Weekend. When signing-in for Week 10, please look for the sign-in sheets for Saturday, July 13 from 4 – 8 p.m. and Sunday, July 14 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. If you can volunteer either of these dates (or both!) please include your name with the Saturday and/or Sunday list. Of course you do not need to stay the entire 4 hours for each day! Please note the times you will be available. Project GREEN volunteers will welcome our guests and tell about Project GREEN, hand out maps to 20 homes on the Garden Tour, give tours of the Project GREEN Gardens, and offer water to our guests. It’s a fun time to be together without weeding, but please make time to join the Garden Tour yourself!
Our Week 10 work session is Monday, July 8 from 9 – 11 a.m. Looking forward to seeing volunteers! Until then, happy gardening. Diane
