Our last children’s event of the summer was a great success. Forty children arrived to learn about sedums and succulents. As part of the lesson, each child created a whimsical planting by using sedums and shoes or boots. Many happy faces were observed as the children collected their art work to bring home.
The demonstration beds are at their prime by the end of August. The dahlias are gorgeous. The vegetables are at their peak. Each demonstration bed is a sight to behold. Fall is in the air though, and we will soon be sowing winter rye and red clover in many of the demonstration beds. Thanks to Fiskars this has been an especially enjoyable season for the Master Gardeners and the public!
