Our garden has burst into glorious color! Rhododendrons, azaleas and dogwood are blooming! We’ve enjoyed several weeks of warm weather after an especially cold winter and spring. The Master Gardener team is hard at it planting and grooming the Demonstration Garden beds at the Childrens park. School will be out soon and we are all looking forward to the many little visitors who will attend weekly garden lessons, explore the new butterfly habitat, and peruse the gardens. The Master Gardeners are very close to completing the habitat, and have planted many things that will delight the butterflies throughout their life cycle. In preparation for our busy summer visitor season, the hopscotch mat was placed in one of the steppable groundcover beds and the bean teepee was assembled. Our vegetables and berries for the Food Bank are off to a fine start. Thanks to a devoted team, we’re well on our way to meeting our Grant objectives.
