Plants, Flowers and Gnomes


 Got a couple of shares! The first one sent in by Nancy Newlon...

The church flower beds got some much needed attention the last couple weeks.  A few plants, daffodils, Stella De Oro daylilies and some ornamental grasses, survived the 2019 flood.  I decided to plant some low maintenance plants, hostas and Stella De  Oro daylilies to replace all the plants that did not live. It's apparent nothing will kill or slow the growth of the Stella and the hosta is a rugged plant. 
Janice Cheney lives 3 houses north of the church.  She had a great suggestion and most importantly a money saver.  She offered to divide her hostas and Stella plants and give them to the church.    She had gotten her hosta divisions after the 2011 flood from Jo Ann Birkby.  And yes, Jo Ann had hostas to divided again after the 2019 flood. 
George Valquier, who lives just north of the Percival park offered to dig and plant the flowers.  What a blessing he was.
Of course every project needs a supervisor, so that was my job.
Hope to see you soon at church.  Until then, stay well and enjoy all of the wonders of God's Spring Blessings.  The trees in bloom, the birds singing and of course the return of the Monarch butterflies.
Nancy



Thank you Janice, George, Nancy and Jo Ann!  You guys are great!
