Tour of the East Shore Grounds
Sunday, April 30 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
You are invited to the next East Shore Grounds work party on Sunday, April 30 from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. Come for any amount of time to help out and see the progress that the Grounds Team has made during the past months:
Memorial Garden: New name tags have been attached to memorial plants in memory of our beloved East Shore members who have passed away. Wax Myrtles and Hicks Yews planted along the north wall to form an evergreen privacy screen between the condos and the Memorial Garden. Wood chips were spread for mulch. Frittalaria native bulbs planted at the entrance, edges of the gravel pathway cleaned, and trees and ferns pruned.
Raised beds: During the fall we planted a cover crop of clover to enrich the soil. Garlic bulbs were also planted. Perennial herbs salvaged from the old P-Patch are being contained and organized.
Wooded area behind the church: We pulled English ivy that wants to creep up the trees.
Playground: Between the playground and the RE building, blueberry bushes and grapes salvaged from the Holly House property were transplanted in February.
