Wow! great weather, good showing of gardeners with family and friends, 2 great volunteer groups, happy volunteers got a lot done including mulching and mowing and weeding and turning compost. Fun garden volunteer day. posted photos on our gardens at Gus Garcia Facebook page.
Great weather for a January trash pick up along the trail. Happy and productive volunteers found trash among the winter foliage along the trail all the way to Shropshire and fished trash out of the Blakeney pond.
Good wildlife viewing including a great blue heron. Finished on time.
thanks for help unloading all the awesome tools you let us borrow to get our mulching done.
exceeded my expectations.
volunteers at the tool shed did a great job fitting everything in my truck and were super nice and quick. Very organized. Kathleen and Barry answered my questions and it is always nice to see APF celebrities when picking up tools. :-)
solo weeding event today around the sky flower by the cistern bed. Bermuda grass making it thru the cardboard and mulch but over time if we keep up the onslaught of pulling, we'll beat it. Frog fruit plant and horse herb are trying to help by becoming ground cover, which is a really good thing. Moist ground after recent rain made for easier pulling of weeds.
so hot and humid, but not really unexpected on this National Trails Day. Amazing bunch of hard working volunteers kept me moving, too, although frequent breaks needed.
Gardens at Gus Garcia has a good bit of area mulched and the trees around the rec center are definitely happy getting mulch spread around them to help them through the summer.
Leader did a great job.
Despite the time change and many volunteers cancelling or not showing up due to crazy rainy and windy weather, we still have a fantastic work day because of the enthusiastic volunteers that did show up and I think we all had fun and hopefully none got poison ivy.
