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.

10% Day at Warner's Landscape and Nursery
One of our sensory pots for residents from 2010
What: 10% of the proceeds at the nursery will benefit the gardens at Olivia White Hospice Home
When: Saturday, July 16, from 9am-5pm
Where: Warner's Landscape and Nursery
Stop by the nursery and purchase your 2011 garden plants and materials. It is a great time to plant. With the monsoons in full force they will all get a great start with little effort on your part.
Representatives from the regular garden crew will be available for questions.
If you have not visited the gardens at Olivia White Home there will be an opportunity on Sunday, August 14. We will be on the Native Plant Contest yearly garden tours.
Thanks,
Loni Shapiro
Volunteer Garden Coordinator
