While I was on vacation Cynthia Katte was in charge of the gardens at Olivia White. Many of our regulars came to help that day. Nancy Palmer watered the garden and fed the birds. Linda Guarino worked on the drip system, and did some weeding in the gardens in front of the house. Carol Lease added some tags to our vines and repaired some damaged ones from the winter. Judith Chaddock finished our second pruning of the roses and fed them and helped Nancy with the birds. Becky planted some plants we purchased at the Arboretum plant sale. Cynthia worked on the compost pile and brought Al to look at installing the rain collection devices. Kay Balzer and Laura Davis worked in several areas of the garden.
Thank yous: Kay and Laura )for watering some of the pots (with all the rain the garden was fine) and thanks to Cynthia for managing the crew.
Cynthia Davis, Linda Guarino, Marcia Lamkin and Laura Davis all worked on the 10% day and deserve additional thanks.
Dave Hill and Zane and the volunteer coordinator Jacque Auxier also represented hospice at the fundraiser.
I will be back in the garden on Thursday and the focus will be on the planned new garden (Michael Moore Medicinal Native Plant Garden), cutting lavender, planting a shrub, and continued revamping of the front gardens. As usual we will be watering, weeding, and feeding the birds.
