Fall Accomplishments

The garden committee got a lot of work done today! 

Greenwood Cemetery was our first stop and we got lots of mulch.

Once we were back we planted daffodil, tulip, and iris bulbs in the tree pits on Avenue H.

Thanks to Stephen, Sonia and Claudia for the work and to Nora who supported the workers with cookies and gave a generous donation to the garden.
