Nearing the Finish Line
by jdower on Sep.20, 2009, under Uncategorized
- Our Mediterranean Garden endures through the Fall.
- Stellar season for the dahlias. This is Lavender Ruffles.
- Pumpkin hoop transformed to a bird feeder!
- Our record-breaking warm summer provided the tallest sunflowers ever.
- Time to sheet mulch under the kiwi arbor to save us hours of spring weeding.
- The vegetables have all gone to the Food Bank. Time for a cover crop!
Yes, Fall is in the air but most days continue to be sunny and warm here in Bremerton, Washington. A drenching rain over the weekend was very welcome! The Anna Smith Master Gardeners are nearing the ‘finish line’ and will be buttoning down the garden by late October. During our last work party we reviewed the successes this season. The Fiskars grant most certainly played a large role! Our tool shed is full of wonderful new Fiskar’s tools, our demonstration beds sport interesting and much needed signage, we sponsored a well-attended series of educational children’s events at the park, and our new butterfly habitat has been the subject of several newspaper articles and has been enjoyed by many, many visitors! We’ve received multiple kudos from community members. Thank you once again Fiskars for honoring us with the Project Orange Thumb grant award!

You are very welcome! We are always happy to hear how so much can be done with the grant, and your group has absolutely made the most of it. Way to go!
