Curious George Cottage - Volunteer Day in the Gardens

Preparations have begun for the upcoming relocation and renovation of the Curious George Cottage. The first of two volunteer work days was held on Thursday, May 20, 2010. A hearty crew of volunteers spent the morning dismantling and digging up the landscaping so that we can reuse as much as possible for the new landscape after all the renovations are completed. Projects included dismantling the Mary Bierbrier Community Garden Plots (we were able to salvage all the cedar boards for use in the new landscape), digging and potting up and any and all perennials that we could find in the flower beds and garden beds (which turned out to be many more plants than anyone expected), disassembling the rock borders around the garden beds,  moving the garden arbor, and more!

Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped out!

And many more thanks to Nancy, Joanne and Bob who came back on Friday to finish the job!!!

We look forward to getting all those plants back in the ground at the end of the summer.
