Hi All,
It’s late afternoon on Sunday, so I’ll do my best to keep this short.
Last Monday was cool and wet. There were 14 volunteers who braved the sprinkles from above. The PGG has collected 0-inches of rain since last week. No one was complaining about getting wet. In fact, most of us were quite happy! Those in attendance were: Diane Allen (3 hours), Evelyn Frey, Jim Peters (3 1/2 hours), Monica Hoherz, Pat Yeggy, Mary Laughlin (1 hour only), Linda Bergquist, Sue Mullins, Linda Schreiber (Master Gardener), Lisa Haverkamp, Susan Ahrens (3 hours), Erin Buscher, Chris Ostrander, Hetty Hall. Since last Monday Jim Peters spent 1 hour at the PGG and Evelyn Frey added another hour. Thanks to all for their efforts at the PGG!
We had a “to-do list” and checked everything as done. Volunteers cut down the Nancy Seiberling peonies (excepting the tree and Itoh peonies), we finished mulching Mary’s tree, Cindy’s Arch, the Catalpa bed, West Oval 2, and the Dashes. We weeded and pulled out any dead annuals. The Little Free Library was filled. Containers and wagons were fertilized and watered. The sidewalks, driveway, and parking lot were cleared of leaves, walnuts, and debris. The Triangle bed was dead headed. The iris were cut back at the arrowwood viburnum bed. Whew! That’s a long list!
Here are the numbers after 23 weeks working together at the Project GREEN Gardens. Weeks 1 – 22 + Week 23 = 940 hours + 30 1/2 hours
= 970 1/2 hours for 2025’s Project GREEN volunteers!
Many thanks to all! We have three more weeks to finish our 2025 work together. It’s been a grand year.
Please bring your favorite rake tomorrow to clear West Oval 1. The 4 Seasons Garden Club is having a meeting at the PGG Wednesday beginning at 1 p.m. Our goal Monday is to make the Gardens pretty and welcoming, like always. Should be an easy task!
Looking forward to our time together tomorrow (Monday). Until then, happy gardening! Diane
