Blue Star Garden Activity and July Meeting Agenda (2015)

Hi All it appears that it will be a wonderful sunny summer’s day on Saturday for our Blue Star Meeting

  

I will begin at 8 AM at the Shedd Park Gateway and have the team remove the invasive multi flora rose vines that are popping up in between the hosta.  

Then we will move to the Blue Star @ 9:30 AM.  I simply cannot find my copy of the shed key so please someone (Susie, Peggy) bring your key so we can access our tools.

At the Blue Star: I’d like to start on the Bridge Street slope of the Lyon’s memorial.  Cut the grass if it need it and remove debris on the slope.  We may not  need to water it seems we will have rain before Sat.

If the fence at the blue star is now abundantly wild to the point of encroachment, I’d like the team to prune back the virginia creeper (all pruning shears will be needed ) being careful not to damage the milk weed plants.  

Also it will be a good time to review the far corner of the CAPS island to see if the vetch grown cover and milkweed is doing what we had hope to accomplish in that corner.

Speaking of pruning the golden creeping juniper at our rock needs to be radically cut back.

Hospitality has been offered by Jeanne.  

Bring any marigold or wild flower seeds collected that you have collected for our Urban Garden Project.

Our next Blue Star meeting will be August 22nd.  Hopefully we will have our 10th Anniversary commemorative Sundial installed on that date.
