PEACE GARDEN UPDATE

by Clarice Gregory (Garden Leadership)

Last Saturday, a group of parishioners was able to quickly lay cardboard and cover it with bark at the back of the church to begin our efforts to eradicate the St. John’s Wort. Thank you to Reverend Beth, Dawn, Bob W., Annette, Gerry, Norman, and Clarice for making a speedy work of the task. Later that day, Jim L gathered all the weed piles in the parking lot and transported them to the recycling center – thank you for that surprise!!

I’ve added more areas/tasks that need someone to maintain them. The master garden plan will be in the Narthex with the sign-up sheet. If you can add your name to a task, it will be very much appreciated.
Thank you to Jill for her financial contribution to the garden upgrades. The benches and the Columbarium in the Peace Garden have been scrubbed and sealed.  I hope that you will come out and see and perhaps spend a moment thanking the Good Lord.

This fall, I will be looking for 4 -6 Hellebore starts (if anyone needs to divide theirs). I can use them for planters in the columbarium area.
