Out with the Old, In with the New!


Last Sunday - a gorgeous, warm, spring morning – several gardeners cleared leaves and tidied the supplies to prepare the Garden for the 2012 growing season. The unusually warm spring weather has spurred an early crop of weeds. We filled several large bags with leaves and freshly pulled weeds to add to the compost pile. 

 
Donated plants help the Garden grow! This bleeding heart was donated a couple years ago through the Great Perennial Divide event coordinated by Greencorps. It is thriving in this shady corner of the garden. 
 
The forsythia was donated to the Garden by Greencorps in November 2011 and transplanted by a devoted volunteer. It survived the winter and is now in bloom!
