Landscaping the Curious George Cottage

Remember all those plants we potted up in the spring from the gardens surrounding the Curious George Cottage? Well, they survived the hot, dry summer and they are now back in the ground in front of the Cottage's new location recovering from their ordeal. Many thanks to Birdie Britton for joining the Rey Center staff for a morning of planting. We look forward to seeing these plants take off next spring.
There were many more plants than we remembered potting up, and fortunately, we were able to plant the entire area in front of the Cottage with this collection of salvaged plants. We hope to put in more flower gardens along the side of the Cottage in the spring with the help of local gardeners. Having substantial flower gardens will be a fitting tribute to Margret Rey and her love of gardening. Thank you again to all who helped us save these plants in the spring and to Birdie and David Britton for watering plants over the summer.
