A big thank you goes out to Carol and Terri for their help at the last work day! They even kept working after I had to leave.
Yes! We will be having a work day starting at 8:00 on Saturday, September 11. We will have a few Liatris plants to plant in the little prairie, and then we will be moving over to the east (wooded) side to do some clean up. We need to move some big branches and clip off some perennials. The good news is that the Park District got all of the weeds in the cracks of the sidewalk, so we do not have to worry about them for a while. Please bring drinking water, gloves, eye protection, clippers, loppers, trowels and something to haul clippings if you have them.
Please save the dates of Friday, October 8 and Saturday, October 23. We will take a little break before then, and then do some fall clean-up on those dates starting at 9:00. (We will start a little later than during the summer since the sun will be sleeping in.)
Hope to see you Saturday!
Sarah
