All,
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/

To keep up with regular garden maintenance, volunteers take on a month during which s/he spends approximately an hour at the garden. Tasks include weeding and deadheading, and later in the summer, staking things up and then cutting them back. Geneva and I help with additional maintenance, including bigger tasks like spreading mulch. Volunteers also report back on any other garden needs, such as replacing struggling or dead plants, water or mulch needed, etc.

We are setting up the same system again this year, preferably with two volunteers per month. The two can either work together or at different times.   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.

Suggested items to bring: garden gloves, drinking water, sun hat; hand rake/claw or other cultivation tool of choice; scissors/clippers for dead-heading; and a bag to collect weeded material in (Please do not leave weeds in the yard of the Dickson House, but there is a compost pile between the post office and the main Dickson House gardens, towards the bathrooms.)

Please sign up by replying to me, Lucy Wilson (lucy.wilson AT gmail.com). We are looking for volunteers for the months of July – October.
