Marshall Square Parkway Garden Club planting day report

Back in May, I wrote about another planting day in June, on Whipple, in a smaller area. Yesterday was that day, but not on Whipple. Due to some miscommunication, I thought we had the place all lined up, but we didn’t. We ended up playing at 2948 W. 24th St instead. We had 5 adults (Cathy from my C3 class, Joanne, John, Ben and myself from the HUB) and 4 children (ages 8-10) participate. We had to do a lot more work to get into the soil this time than last time, as it was so compacted. But work we did, and we got 2 hostas, 5 coral bells, 4 bleeding hearts and 8 day lillies into the ground, as well as a flat each of prarie grass and echanaicha. Joanne also did a great job building a fence out of sticks and zipties!
