[Highland Park] Highland Park Garden Club news
by Elisabeth Larman 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello neighbors, I hope that you all have noticed the cheerful yellow pansies members of our club planted yesterday at the park entrance garden beds. We owe a special thanks to Nancy Schultz, Diane Roberts, Jill Traub, Mayte Saenz-Robles, Brian and Elisabeth Larman who helped Angela Yuele (Parks Conservancy) plant the many trays of little beauties for all of you to enjoy. The Highland Park Garden Club will have its monthly meeting on the 19th of this month at the Union Project, corner of Negley and Stanton. The meeting will start at 10:00 AM. The program will be a tutorial on how to correctly divide perennials. It is open to anyone and free. The Highland Park Garden Club is a non profit organization dedicated to make Highland Park even more beautiful than it is and to teach the community the best practices of gardening. We are also trying to beautify Bryant street, our own commercial street, with hopefully the help and collaboration of the businesses. We accept donations and suggestions. We hope to see many of you on the 19th.

Hi HP, I do not currently have a compost bin up and running. I am wondering if anyone is aware of a place that would be interested in veggie/fruit scraps and coffee grounds for their compost bin? Thanks in advance! Dora -- Dora P. Magovern LSW, MPH, CPH --------------------------------- "Be well, do good work, and keep in touch."-- Garrison Keillor
