Many thanks to everyone who gave up their Saturday morning to help put the gardens to bed for the winter. We cut back, divided, transplanted, pulled, planted, dumped, raked, swept, sawed and spread until the gardens sparkled! A very good effort. The pond is closed and all the bags picked up. A job well done thanks to our dedicated volunteers.

This photo captures the glory of spring bulbs in the Garden. A loyal troop of volunteers began our regular maintenance this past Tuesday morning. Mulching the trees, trimming up the lavender and digging dandelions out of the flower beds.
There is much left to do when we return next Tuesday. All of the flower and shrub beds need weeding and digging. Mulching the trees and tidying up the paths are all on the agenda.
It seems the fabulous weather followed by a touch of rain has made for rampant weed growth.
We welcome all volunteers and provide guidance on the jobs that need doing. We even provide the spades and trowels. The fun begins at 9, weather permitting.

We will also be planting a cherry tree courtesy of Tracey Craig, Manager of the Georgetown Canadian Tire. This is a replacement for a tree they previously donated which didn’t make it through the drought conditions last summer.

Once again this year DG Green Houses generously donated all the annuals for the garden. On Saturday volunteers from Friends of the Old Seed House Garden were on hand to do the spring planting and the Georgetown Independent was there to report on the event.
