Sprouts!

...and Plants!

Rodney Hayes and her staff will be working this week to install some of the plants for the garden. The ornamental plum, lavender, lilac bush, allium, hens and chicks, and lamb's ear will all be planted.

We have a plan!

Here it is, the design by Rodney Hayes, master gardener, for Carolyn's Garden. The garden is designed with plants and flowers to delight children, attract butterflies, reflect Miss Carolyn's preferences, and to thrive in our particular location. You can download a PDF copy on our website: http://www.hagamanlibrary.org/ We hope you will join us on June 12 to enjoy the garden and celebrate in person.

Seeds are being planted...

We are almost ready to share the plan for Carolyn's garden. The library board of directors approved the proposal created by Rodney Hayes, and she and her crew are preparing the site. Watch for lots of activity over the next couple of weeks.

Rodney thought it would be nice to include the children in the preparation, so she suggested that they start sunflower seeds in the children's room, to be transplanted when they are tall enough. Hurry in to the library to plant your seed and check back here for growth progress!

Thank you to anonymous donors

We had a great turnout for Amy Ziffer's program on Cottage Gardening on Saturday. Thank you to Cynthia Gwiazda, community services librarian, for putting the word out that we are still collecting donations for the garden. And thank you to all who donated generously, especially to the person who donated a 100-dollar bill!

Plans are moving forward. Frank Andrews has located a source for granite benches and pictures will be available soon. A drawing and proposal for the garden, created by Rodney Hayes, will be available in the next few weeks. We are on target for the June 12 dedication. Thanks for your patience with the updates!
