We are fast approaching the time of year when bulbs, perennials, shrubs and trees come to life and, wonder of wonder, millions of weeds. It is a favorite time for me and I hope for you as well. When you read this, it will be happening in our Botanical Garden. The garden is an every-changing, ever-growing project.
I would like to invite any Master Gardeners to come and join one of our work teams. Right now we are working the 1st and 3rd Mondays and the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Each team works one time a month. Spring is a very busy time in the garden and greenhouse and we could use more help. We do weeding, light pruning, mulch spreading, planting, etc. Hilton and David Barkley check the garden to prepare our chore list and Davis is usually there to give direction. It is a great way to gain knowledge and meet some really neat people.
Also, Ash Tyler could use help in the greenhouse/hoop house. He is there almost every morning and would love the help. Remember our plant sale is our “Biggest Fundraiser” and it requires many work hours from many people. We hope everyone will participate in some capacity.
If you would like to help, please call Hilton Holcomb – 575-4943, Ash Tyler – 278-6101 or me -253-0195. We would love to have you join us!
Happy gardening,
Maggie Hoon
