PowellsWood Garden Tour

Seven of us braved the rain to have a wonderful guided tour of PowellsWood Garden Saturday May 25. The garden is lovely! I will return on a sunny day to take garden photos to post. Here we are after the tour:


Foundation House Hanging Baskets and Pollinator Garden

Here are a few photos of club members and Foundation House residents at our May 10 "potting party". We potted up 20 hanging baskets. We weeded the pollinator garden, top-dressed with compost, planted a fuchsia in memory of Valerie Roloff, and added a row of wax begonias.
