Greetings,
 
As you all hopefully know, the OCBA maintains a pollinator garden at the Alexander Dickson House/Orange County Visitors Center on East King Street in Hillsborough. It’s a lovely garden, installed and dedicated in the spring of 2011.
See more here: http://theocba.org/events/pollinator-garden-dedication/
  
Starting last year, to keep up with regular garden maintenance, a team of volunteers each took on a month during which s/he spent approximately an hour at the garden. Tasks included weeding (primarily wire and crab grass) and deadheading, and later in the summer, staking things up, and then cutting them back. Geneva and I helped with additional maintenance, including bigger tasks like spreading mulch. Volunteers also reported back to us on any other garden needs, such as replacing struggling or dead plants, water or mulching needed, etc.
 
We’d like to set up the same system again this year, though with preferably two volunteers per month. The two can either work together as a pair or separately at different times during the month.  If regularly maintained, a visit to weed, etc. should take approximately one hour. This can be done at any time within the month, to fit the volunteer’s schedule.
 
Please sign up by replying to me, Lucy Wilson (lucy.wilson AT gmail.com). I'll also have a sign-in sheet at the meeting this Thursday. We are looking for volunteers for the months of April – November.  
 
Thanks,
Lucy
