Marina's annual garden tour takes place on Sunday, May 17th, from 10am - 3pm. In 2013, a customer's property was featured in this event. For more information please visit marinatreeandgarden.org.
"This year's highlight: A California Coastal Scrub community planting; A warm homemade greenhouse; A backyard koi pond; A featured Los Arboles school student-planted and maintained vegetable garden; And, a Hugelkultur installation." (marinatreeandgarden.org 2015)
Marina celebrated Earth Day on Saturday, April 11th, at Locke Paddon Park.
Last year, I wasn't able to volunteer with the park clean-up :(
Not this year :)
Here are a few pics of the park and a few shots of the dedicated volunteers...
I assisted in the amphitheatre area located on a hill sandwiched between the Marina Library and the pond. This area has one of best vantage points of the park. The task of weeding was made much easier with my trusty weed rake (picked up at a garage sale for $3).
Taking a quick break...
More info on Marina's Annual Earth Day Event can be found on my 2013 Earth Day Blog. In continued celebration, I'll be offering free drought tolerant jade and rosemary cuttings for plant propagation from Friday, 4/24, thru Sun, 5/3, while supplies last at the dunepad. During this period, I'll also be offering a 10% discount on succulents, pottery and plant stands.
Many thanks to those who've made a difference (or plan to) for Earth Day 2015!
I appreciate the significance of this day. Also, I like to consider this to be the first day of spring.
I can't think of a better period to bring in an assortment of plants. I just brought in a small selection of sago palms. As for the bulk of the succulents and tropicals, I should have those in by Friday, April 10th. In addition, I'll have a stockpile of plant stands, vessels, and new & vintage pottery on hand.
Again, I hope you have a great Palm Sunday!
To those who've made it possible, Thank You! :)
And Sunshine said Thanks too!
