You may have noticed that some areas on our church grounds are looking better lately. A dedicated group of gardeners has been working since this spring – spraying horsetail, trimming, weeding, and removing some dead trees and shrubs, suckers, and overhanging limbs, as well as watering. Many thanks go to Joanne Flagel, Janet Wildeboor, Mary Kay Bailey, Justin Tracey, Deanna Hirota, Bill Freitag, Kirk Larsen, Lyndall Foulds, Sharon Hinton, Sharon and Jeff  Kenyon, Priscilla and Will Clardy, and Vera Zimmerman, and all those who participated in the last work party.
 
We plan to continue improving our grounds with the help of the “Gardening Group” committee, work parties,  and the Trustees as we move into this fall. We hope to add some new plantings in the front area, and continue to clear out other areas - with the goal of giving our church a more inviting appearance with easier maintenance.
 
We hope you will join us for the upcoming work party on and Sunday, Sept. 6, from 10:45 to 2:00. Bring your gardening tools and join us to tackle specific jobs in selected areas as we continue to make improvements.
