Fall Planting


Fall planting is complete :) We took out the tall reddish plants on the sides, replaced those with purple mums. Petunias are gone, fresh mulch has been laid, and you might even see a few little pumpkins out there too!
We put fresh mulch at the center tree, and planted three mums under our new sign. If you are part of the circle garden crew, please feel free to transplant these somewhere else when you are ready to plant the circle garden. We had three extras that we were unsure of what to do with and thought they would be a nice touch by the sign.Thanks so much for the fall planting contributions. I'm amazed at how our DCE employees will take out of their personal wallets to make our courtyard awesome!

Take a minute & visit our new fall garden!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Fall weather is here, which means our lovely petunias are just about to die :( But we are now on to fall mums! I think our garden would look awesome with some purple mums to fill in the spaces where the petunias will be dug up.

Eventually I hope to get the garden to a point where we don't have to keep putting our money into it, but for now, I'm needing to beg for some donations!

If you would like to contribute to our fall planting efforts, you can do that a few ways :

Bring you cash (or check) donation to Suzy in room 131.

Buy a mum or two the next time you're out & about (purple please), any size is ok, and bring to the front of the building.

Planting day is Tuesday, October 5 from 1-5. Join us for planting if you can!
