Its time for spring clean up…. the warmer weather has forced us to move the schedule around a bit. The perennial planting and spring clean up is now scheduled for Saturday April 8th from 9 to noon. As always this is rain, shine or snow.. .we will need lots of creek rats and land crew to support them. The water level will be lowered again to facilitate removal of the muskrat caps and fertilization of the pots.
We have lots of waders but those with their own are encouraged to bring them along. Dress warm and in layers as April is a difficult month to judge. Please let us know if you can help and if you’re a likely “creek rat” or land volunteer.
The Tropical planting will be held on Saturday May 6th from 9 to noon rain or shine. We will plant over 230 tropical lilies, bog and lotus plants. We will need lots of creek rats as well as land crew to support them.
Please let us know if you can help and if you’re a likely “creek rat” or land volunteer.
As always we will meet at the suspension bridge in front of the wine kitchen.
The garden will be spectacular this year ….be a part of it!
It’s early yet, but don’t forget the Festival for Color On The Creek. It will be held on August 12th. If you were there last year, you heard a great band – and they will be here again this year! We will only have one band and the event will be patterned after “Alive@Five” events with beer and wine.
Flying Dog Brewery has agreed to be our major sponsor. Thank You! We hope to see you there!
