Hi All,
Thirteen volunteers met this past Monday for our weekly work session at the PGG. As we began our work, it was 79-degrees and our gauges collected 3/4 inch of rain since last week. Those in attendance were: Linda Bergquist, Susan Ahrens, Pat Yeggy, Hetty Hall, Jim Peters, Monica Hoherz, Nick Goergen, Rina Sjolund, Dhyana Kaufman, Cindy Parsons, Erin Buscher, Lisa Haverkamp, and moi. It was a good turn-out considering the heat & humidity. Everyone agreed 11 a.m. would be our finish time.
We had what looked like a short list of chores to complete: weeding and watering, filling the LFL, fertilizing & watering containers and wagons. We are beginning to analyze the beds for next year’s plant purchases. Any ideas? Please send to Cindy or me. Our newest bed, the catalpa tree bed had two catalpa trees cut down. There is one catalpa remaining in the center of this north bed. One of our hoses from the house sprung a leak and after locating the correct tool, the hose was doing its job just fine. Our two hours flew by.
Here are the numbers after 14 weeks together: Weeks 1 – 13 + Week 14 = 637 1/2 hours + 26 hours = 663 1/2 hours for the Project GREEN Gardens volunteers! Congratulations for a job well done to all.
Remember when??
It’s been 4 years since the 2020, August 10 Derecho event. Project GREEN volunteers left the PGG by 11:30 a.m. to head home from our weekly work session. Here are a few pictures from the noon wind damage at the Gardens.
Our next meeting date is August 12, from 9 – 11 a.m. Fingers crossed it’s another beautiful day like today. Looking forward to seeing Project GREEN volunteers. Until then, happy gardening! Diane
Upcoming event: Project GREEN Steering Committee meeting is August 15, Thursday beginning 11:30 a.m. All are welcome! We will meet at the Ashton House, main floor.
