Thank you to the NPSOT members who came to the workday at the Pollinator Garden. We were a “small but mighty” group.

Kathy Galloway got all of the Pavonia and some lantana trimmed back. Dick Galloway was a generalist and dug holes, shoveled mulch, and carried trimmings. Walt Henderson used his cotton chopping hoe to clear a new bed for the zexmenia and black-foot daisies that we got from the NPSOT plant sale. Kathy Henderson and Kathy Galloway then planted them in Walt’s new bed. Ilse Meier worked on weeding and other garden clean up.

The weather was beautiful. The scenery and company were the BEST!

Our co-founders and collaborators from The Good Water Master Naturalists did not join us. They need to find a replacement for their Pollinator Garden Coordinator since Elizabeth Sartain has retired after many years of doing a great job in that position. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Please come by to see the bluebonnet-covered berm (please don’t walk in the beauties) and visit the refreshed garden.
