Happy 28th Anniversary to the Discovery Garden!
Discovery Garden Gnome
September 15th is the annual anniversary of the 1996 Discovery Garden Groundbreaking Ceremony. Take a step back in time and watch the video from Julie Hubner's Impressions at 20 Years. Stroll through the garden pages and rediscover the garden at 28 years old and still growing.
See you in the garden,
Garden Gnome
Weekly Garden Walk
Garden Managers
*** We will no longer be doing Garden Walks this year unless someone wants to volunteer ***
**** Thank you to those who participated *****
The garden has brought back a 15 minute walk to one garden each week. Garden Coordinators will briefly talk about their garden and point out some of their plants. This is a fun way to learn about all the garden rooms and learn about some of the features in that space. Please listen for the "bell" at 11:45.
Garden Coordinators

needed.
Jeans donation
Beverly Dale-Crunk
Do you have old jeans (or even cutoffs) to donate? They will be made into Garden Tool Holsters for sale at next year's Plant Fair. Beverly Dale-Crunk is volunteering to make them during the rainy fall and winter days ahead. Just bring your donated jeans to the shed. Thank you !
Irrigation
Bobbi Lemme
I will be in the garden on Tuesday. Let me know if you have any issues with your irrigation systems!

Rose Garden
Virgene
Hi all! We are still a bit shorthanded and could you some help with projects. Now that it is approaching mid-September we will be removing spent petals from the rose and leaving the hip if it is healthy. If the hip is brown then it can be deadheaded down to the cane. Leaving the hip tells the rose that it has done its job of making seeds so it can prepare for dormancy. A freeze could hit in November and we don't want new tender leaves to be exposed.
Thanks!
