Adopt A Garden
September 12, 2020 Planting Day
September 12th was a perfect planting day for Phase 2 of our Ball Field Gardens. We planted large leaved Hosta varieties, native Lady Fern and Oak Sedge along with Lady’s Mantle.
8 Excelsior residents came and dug holes, weeded, mulched and planted! We had a dynamic and dedicated group. A very special thank you to Mary Malsam who organized and physically dug and split close to 50 donated large sized Hosta's for the gardens. Some special Hosta’s came from the gardens of Tom Wolfe. This allowed our project to have a jump start for next year. Thank you to the City for their help in set up, mulch and clean up. Plants need continued watering until frost. Our 3 person watering team is doing a fabulous job. Thank you, Jule Coughlan, Mary Malsam and Andrea Salvador for their efforts in watering. Thank you to Judy Swanson for her continued efforts maintaining these gardens as well. Stay tuned for more planting ahead and scheduled garden chats where we can learn and garden!
We are always looking for more help. Volunteer to care for the gardens in The Commons by emailing adoptions@communityforthecommons.org
