FHS garden renovation
Published 9:35 am Monday, May 6, 2013
The Foothills Association of Master Gardeners (FAMG) recently completed a renovation of the memorial garden at Foothills Humane Society. This community service project included a general cleanup, re-designing some of the existing stonework, planting a number of vertical evergreens to establish a sense of definition of space, leveling the concrete benches and replacing the broken tabletop. New mulch, which was donated by Tim Edwards Landscaping Supplies, was then spread to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Volunteers from FAMG, who completed the project in three work sessions, included Barbara Clegg, Nancy Novak, Elizabeth Lamb, Brenda Ward, Jackie Weedon, Gretchen Verbonic, Brian Grimwood, Ron Wingo, Hila Swanson, Dick Murphy and Vard Henry. Humane society volunteers Steve King and Bud Clegg also provided much-needed assistance. (article and photo submitted by Barbara Clegg)
