 Hello Gardeners!

Come see the fall colors!  This is a friendly reminder that we will be having a work day at the Wildflower Sanctuary on Saturday, October 17 starting at 9:00.  Please note the new (fall) starting time.  We will be meeting on the east (wooded) side to work on trimming, weeding and whatever else needs attention.  If you have them, please bring gardening gloves, clippers. loppers, weed diggers, something to tote clippings, eye protection, mask and drinking water. 
 
As an added bonus, I will be handing out wildflower seeds that were collected in my yard, and Al will have produce, including wacky and amazing tromboncinos.
 
Hope to see you then!
Sarah Kimber
