Parish Gardners

Volunteers in the parish have been refurbishing and doing simple maintenance work on the parish grounds since Spring of 2021.  Watering wands and cans and a new wheelbarrow were purchased, as well as some containers for summer plantings around the parish office steps, and a new bluebird house by the Parish House

  A new garden was planted around the St. Francis statue in front of the Parish House.  Seven crepe myrtle trees were donated by parishioners for summer blooming.  And various perennials have been planted through donations from our gardeners, including, ferns, hostas, columbine, iris, creeping phlox, lilies, and bulbs.  We look forward to continuing the work of beautifying the parish grounds and are looking for more volunteers to do planting and weeding.  

The landscaping specialists the parish has under contract continue to weed, spray, mow the lawn, prune trees and bushes, and remove dead or diseased plantings.
