Herb Bed Update

Hello Gardeners,

Eagle Scout candidate, Kyle Perry contacted me regarding obtaining donated supplies for herb garden rebuild at Stony Kill for us. Kyle has gotten all the mulch donated as well as all the landscape cloth for covering the paths prior to putting the mulch down on them. There should be ample mulch to add mulch to the herb beds too.

The landscape cloth will almost eliminate weeds from the paths. Good, as that means less work for members during there 2 hour landscape/gardening requirement per gardening season at Stony Kill.

Does anyone have a contact or connection with a business for paving stones for edging the herb beds?
If you do, contact me immediately

Kyle during the winter wrote donation request letters to a number of business headquarters, and spent a week banging on doors attempting to get even part of the garden edging/pavers donated...no luck with anyone.

Replacing the hardscape of the herb bed must be done, so if Kyle doesn't get any pavers donated, that cost falls to the club.

Re: Plant Sale
Be resourceful: maybe a good neighbor has some divisions you can dig from her garden, or even a relative or friend.
There are some herbs we can dig from the herb bed for the plant sale. Need someone to dig and pot them...but first call Heather Bonjolo or myself...for what to dig and pot-up. Thank you.
And remember, contact Tina at SK with the wacky weeders, she can give you direction on what and where to divide in the SK perennial bed.
