Week 14, August 4, 2025 Project GREEN Gardens (PGG)

Hi All,

We have spent 14 weeks caring for the PGG! There has been lots of progress at the 2025 Gardens since our week 1, May 5th work session.

Jim got a picture of a visitor to the Park Road cub garden.
Our resident beaver has struck again. Too bad for the Bald Cypress tree planted in 2018 to celebrate Project GREEN’s “50 Trees for 50 Years”. This picture was taken along the hiking/biking path.
Every week Rina Sjolund prepares gallons of Miracle Grow water for the 6 containers and 2 Red Rider wagons filled with beautiful flowers. She is using a cart Max Molleston donated to Project GREEN and pulling the cart to the front then back of the Ashton House delivering the blue water. The results of a weekly watering and fertilizing are spectacular!

Here are the numbers after 14 weeks together at the PGG. Weeks 1 – 13 + Week 14 = 641 1/2 hours + 23 hours

= 664 1/2 hours for 2025 Project GREEN volunteers! Many thanks to each and everyone of you!

It’s time to plan our Gardens for 2026. I have three catalogs to share from Dawn Bouslog, Pleasant Valley Greenhouses. Please think about your 2026 beds and what you will want to order. Make a list to give to me telling the name of your Garden Bed, catalog name, page number and plant name and number of plants to order. Cindy and I are planning to fill the Triangle bed with red, white, and blue flowers to celebrate the USA’s 250th year. Let me know if you’d like us to order extra red, white, and blue plants for your bed.

Looking forward to seeing Project GREEN volunteers Monday, August 11 from 9 – 11 a.m.! We can chat away our time together weeding flowerbeds, making them pretty for our Garden visitors. Until then, happy gardening! Diane
