The weather looks pretty good. Thought I would prune the roses, do a little trimming, and rake the leaves in the corners of the courtyard to get ready for the mulch. Anyone interested in helping? Please join me with rake, clippers, and gloves in the back courtyard. RSVP Susan at rslindberg273@gmail.com
National authority Justin Martin will discuss the visionary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, a Hartford native, who transformed the country’s social and political landscape. Best remembered for masterfully designing parks and public spaces, Olmsted was an important social reformer whose intent was to elevated the lives of his fellow citizens. Olmsted’s work is just as relevant today, with our urgent need to revitalize cities and widespread yearning for green spaces.
Directions on how to join the Zoom meeting will be emailed out before the meeting.
The Garden Therapy Committee is asking for a little help with mulching in the gardens. Please bring a garden rake and small shovel. Wear gloves and a mask. Susan will limit the number for social distancing.
Please RSVP to Susan rslindberg273@gmail.com or 860 561-3648.
Gardening on this date has been canceled. However, if anyone wants to, it is okay to go on your own if you are so inclined. Susan Grew will contact those who did sign up on this date to find out if they are open to a couple of hours working on their own.
