On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons the group of kids came from Upward Bound. They watered, weeded, fertilized trees, fed and watered the birds, washed pots, and cleaned the greenhouse.
Special thank yous to David for all the hardware to fix benches and Carol Lease and Joe Harte for taking extra time and travel to make sure our drip was running. Joannie Abbott from Foxglove Gardening gave us a piece of drip line so we would not have to buy 500 feet.
New blooms:
Several penstemons (desert, mat, rocky mountain, etonii, Austrian copper rose), Flag and Dutch iris, succulents in the rock garden and sulfur buckwheat.

Austrian Copper Rose

Rock Garden
New plantings:
Color pots throughout the garden (salvia, alyssum, sweet potato vine, calendula, petunia, lobelia, cosmos, marigold, geraniums, etc). Several things were also added to the sensory pots, Moon Garden, Rock Garden to fill up or replace perennials that did not make it through the winter.
Come join us next Thursday morning any time between 8am and 12pm. We will be cleaning up some geraniums and focusing on digging up some of our extra plants to sell at a plant sale on June 26th. We will have germander, penstemon, lambs ear, snow in summer, yarrow, iris, and red hot pokers. There will also be extra pots available and other garden items.
No parking at Olivia White. It is available on Turquoise or at the 1st Congregational Church. Water and snacks provided. Just bring a hat, sun screen, and closed toed shoes are recommended.
