Did you know that this beautiful garden is almost totally maintained with volunteer labor? Every Friday morning from 9:00 to noon a small group of very hard-working volunteers does the “dirty work”…the weeding, the pruning, the sweeping and raking…and we need help. I might just say that if you love to work in a beautiful garden, if you have skills or if you want to develop skills, if you like the idea of contributing to a fascinating historic resource in your community… consider joining this merry band. Just showing up to take some photos I’ve learned a thing or two from this group. Think about it…WE NEED YOU.
So here’s what they were up to this week plus a report on some of the ongoing projects I’ve been reporting on.
One project this week was work on the bricks which need cleaning and re-sanding…
pruning…weeding…
the big problem is the Aegopodium…it’s everywhere…
The boxwood is beginning to regrow…!
and Woody has built a very ingenious tool cupboard in his work area…
The new Oak Tree has some leaves!
See you Friday morning…PLEASE!!
