For our upcoming June workday, which falls on the 7th, Barbara has enlisted the help of Ruben Sundeen who heads up the Rotary at Lakeshore. He, along with his twins Lola and Eli and fellow Rotary members, will be lending some much-needed helping hands as we tackle these workday projects:
- Sweeping and raking
- Trimming the boxwood hedge at the fish pool level
- Cutting back the ficus that is taking over the back wall near Merritt Ave.
- Clipping back the ever-encroaching ivy in the outer beds of N & S 5
- Removing the blackberry and weed trees that are sprouting
- Ripping out the morning glory and “stickum” growth in S 3
- Cleaning up the central bins where the agapanthus pots reside
- Pruning the enthusiastic geraniums on the north bed of Lakeshore Ave.
For anyone who enjoys penetrating a semi-jungle, the much-ignored area near 2250 Lakeshore building presents a huge goal.
Dang and I are taking the reins (in lieu of Barbara’s vacationing absence), and will be heading up the volunteer efforts this month. Go easy on us, please, or you’ll have to answer to Barbara when she returns. 🙂
Alberto will bringing a new supply of paper bags, and Yoshi – perhaps some of her famous banana bread.
See you all on Saturday!
