Willow Trellis/Fence Class



For many years, I have been sad to find that I have missed taking willow classes
offered each summer at Willowglen Nursery
This year I managed to register early and had a wonderful learning how to "build" with willow saplings. There were eleven of us in the class on a beautiful Saturday morning.
Some of the students used pre-harvested willow. I joined those who cut our own. I even left the leaves at the top of the three panel screen that I made.
I had so much fun that I hope to go back for the Willow Basket class in August.

Spring in the Garden





The Spring came so quickly that I had to scramble to keep up! Here are photos of the season in the North Winn. Garden.
Mary Glock received a McElroy grant to purchase butterfly-attracting plants. The first and second graders also received a personalized trowl to make the planting even more fun! Mary recorded the planting with a new camera from the grant. See more photos.
