August/September
Volunteers needed to begin sprucing up Nativity Flower beds. Some of you may have noticed that the gardens at Nativity have improved by some of our hardworking and dedicated parishioners. The front bed has been replanted with Encore azaleas, begonias, and monkey grass. This project was
completed by Don. Marie, & Nick Denelsbeck, Alice Moore & ken & Shari Lee. Don & Nick also installed a drip irrigation system to that bed. Most recently, an invasion od bagworms on the junipers necessitated immediate action by the Lees. We believe we caught them in time. Please also note the replanting of the flower bed around the Nativity sign. Don & Ken have a plan to install water in that area also, finally alleviating the need for had watering of shrubs & flowers. More thanks goes to Kathy Sweeney, Alice Moore & Carlos for helping Shari to weed, prune, & transplant some plants in the flower bed off the Narthex. A few other parishioners have volunteered to help with weeding and/or special projects. Ongoing help with weeding, etc. of these beds is needed. If you have any interest in helping and/or need direction, please call Shari at 647-5065.
