Every year many of our perennials expand - especially this year with all the winter moisture. Because of that we thinned many of our plants. Some were put in newer parts of the garden and others will be available for purchase. Some of those available will be snow in summer, yarrow, native geranium, germander, gallardia, vinca, penstemons (Rocky Mt., clutei, and mat), and many red hot pokers.
In addition we will have some slightly used extra pots, tools, and garden art from the home and some of our gardeners. We are considering it Olivia White Garden's garage sale.

The garden crew is active from April-October and sometimes in November weather permitting. Work happens weekly throughout the garden season on Monday and Thursday mornings from 8:00 am-12:00 pm. It also is scheduled for one Saturday a month from April through October. Cancellations due to weather will be posted by 6:00 am of the workday on this blog. You must attend a spring orientation to the garden and Northland Hospice & Palliative Care in order to work. A summary of the work that has been done is included on the blog. Look for weekly postings on this blog during the garden season.
