Preparing for the community garden

The major project related to the community garden for the garden volunteers is to move or propogate the plants that currently occupy that space. So far we have surveyed the plants that are there (completed by Janie Steffins) and we have root pruned and top pruned the smaller moveable plants.

The pink porterweed has been moved by Marcy Watts to the path leading to the Peace Garden. This is where we are concentrating our butterfly plants and we are calling it Butterfly Way.

Al Noblett has begun taking cuttings. I know that he has done the ylang-ylang (cananga tree) but I don't have a complete tally.

I will try to post the survey sketch and plant list here soon.

  1. I am so glad to see that you all are rescuing the bushes and plants that have value to the park. This is so important to be done before the backhoes come in. Good for you!! and Thanks so much for all your work. Sue Moore
