*****wood chips have arrived!!!*****

we have less than 2 weeks until the A-Z event and we need all hands on deck to get the garden ready.  we have the second load of wood chips and we need as many volunteers as possible to help us out.  come out when you can, check the calendar or give me a call and i will tell you when to come out.

garden update, 4/15

running a week behind in updates!  please forgive me, i was a little busy with my own garden this last week and didn't have much time to get the photos up.  we still have room in the rain garden class if anyone is interested in attending, let me know as soon as possible.

 i love the false blue indigo in the rain garden, it puts on quite a show when in full bloom.

 the sedums in the rain garden have spread like wild fire.

 here is one in bloom-not sure what the cultivar is but i love the tiny yellow blooms.

 over in the shade garden, the tiny blooms of the jacobs ladder would be missed if you didn't stop to look at the plant.

 clematis on the gazebo enjoy making spectacles of themselves! 

 two tiny visitors to the clematis-lady bugs are always welcome!

 there are at least 4 kinds of clematis on the gazebo, you need to check them out regularly to see which is in bloom.

the rose garden-not for serious rose gardeners!  these are pink knockouts and they are in full bloom.

that's all for today, i have photos from this week coming soon.
