On Saturday October 15th, Helen Lombardo, Debbie Haluch, Dave Mausolf and Dale Smothers took on the task of trimming up the Butterfly Garden. The vincas, Helen Lombardo and Debbie planted in June 2011 did extremely well despite our summer drought. They were so abundant that the engraved brick walkway was hidden. Helen, with over 40 years in the plant nursery business, has no worries with pulling up and trimming plants. Debbie, it seems, is more of a rescue plant person even when they don't need it. There are a few begonias and vincas in the garden that Helen let me "save". Garden Club member Dave Mausolf and Dale Smothers followed Helen's guidance and we filled five contractor bags with our lush trimmings.
The garden should be in full bloom again in 4-6 weeks.
