This time last year we created a new program – Garden Bed Sponsorships – and asked local businesses and individuals if they’d like to sponsor a specific garden bed for the year. We are very grateful to the following businesses and neighbors who took us up on the offer.
With their help, we have:
- completed the first round of plant replacements in the Rose Garden (plants, like people. eventually grow old)
- cleaned up and replanted the bed just outside the Tupper St gate (extra thanks to the women from Bank of Marin who contributed “sweat-equity” on this project)
- mulched and propped up the Dahlias (the tomato-cages gave us the best dahlia display we’ve had in years)
- revivified the Sensory Garden (and re-discovered the slate path)
- added new plants in the Poppy, Alstromeria and Calla beds
- directed extra attention to the Orchard, Spineless Cactus, Shasta Daisy, CA Natives, Amaranth and Blackberry beds
