TIPS and REMINDERS

Always deadhead plants at each of the listed locations.
Please, do not fertilize plants other than War Memorial Park beds.
If the weather is consistently hot, you many need to visit the watering locations additional times. Use your judgement when tending to our projects.
We each supply and bring our own water to use. Save large empty jugs (milk, vienger, etc) to have handy for your watering dates.
Bring gloves, snips/shears, a hand towel, and a waste reciptical or bag.

Help keep our projects looking great this summer!

Enjoy the beautiful weather and our newly-planted gardens!

The community really appreciates our efforts!
