Going Native at the Milford Library

After much planning and preparation, a few frustrating moments and weather events, we finally got the planting done at the Milford Library. Along with Girl Scout Troops 38304, 38318, and 38315 the members of the Garden Club lugged the sixty pound bags of organic matter   ( Thank you to Matt Elmore ) , dug holes deeper and wider than our plants, filled them with water, planted the native flowers and shrubs and watered again.  Our weather has been unseasonably warm for weeks now and a debt of gratitude is owed to the Library Committee for faithfully watering and weeding.  The garden looks wonderful and within a year or two it will all be filled in.  

Next in line for the project will be to complete a brochure listing all the plants we used and the benefits of 'going native' in your garden. 

Special recognition and thanks to the Friends of the Milford Library who generously donated  toward the purchase of materials needed for this very extensive project.
