Saturday, Feb 14, 9 to noon – Happy Valentines Day!
Special “Love the Club” event with the Keep Pinellas Beautiful volunteers.
We will be gathering plants, pots and soil to prepare for the Club’s upcoming March and May plant sales and planting in the Butterfly and Entry Gardens. Currently the Gardens are a clean slate. We have so much room now to grow and nurture plants. We will be transplanting plants, starting propagated plants in pots, and germinating seeds. We will learn about the snail roll method for starting seeds. We ask the members to bring their potted plant donations, cuttings and seeds. We need both nursery pots and trays. We ask for soil donations of Kellogg’s Garden soil, topsoil, and Organic Composted Manure to make the mix for new plants. We also need bags of clean live oak leaves to reestablish the natural ground cover in the freshly regraded pond garden. We also need these leaves to fill the bottom of pots to reduce the amount of soil we need.
NOTE: We are concurrently renting to the "Paint Your Hearts Out" group on Feb 14th, and interference with their meeting needs to be minimized
