What a beautiful day we had Saturday, Feb 7th, at Peterson Community Demonstration Gardens in Hutto. About 12 NPSOT members and most of the board of Keep Hutto Beautiful showed up to weed and spiffy up the garden. We were treated to a composting activity by Allan, who runs a demonstration area in the garden. For an hour or so, we dug more Bermuda than we could stand, trimmed a few natives back and then gathered our things up in time for snacks and drinks.

There was time to chat and meet the board members, support Debbie Holland who oversees the garden, and tour the approximately 3/4 acre property. There are native shrubs and trees, a bee hive, a veggie plot and the compost demonstration area. There are also many antique farm tools and implements on display. Our own Leland Haefner and Cassandra York-Bergoine have been working to establish a few more native plant areas.

It was a welcome break to be able to sit outside, enjoy the evening and each other.

If you would like to tour the garden it is open to visitors at 205 Hutto St. Hutto, TX 78634.
