Plant Pals ventured into the courtyard of the Round Lake Library this morning to clean up, plant, and refuel the many gardens that make our courtyard beautiful. |
|
Mrs. Deb taught everyone about the plants being used today |
|
Bird feeders and chimes attract children as well as birds |
|
Many came prepared with their own gloves and tools |
|
Parents helped to carefully remove the plants so as not to damage the roots |
|
Even the cedar waxwings weren't deterred from breakfast in the treetops as many people worked in the garden below |
|
We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather |
|
A large pile of weeds that everyone contributed to |
|
Mrs. Deb shows everyone how to remove a plant from the container and offers up bug spray for protection from the biters |
|
Not the wildlife this courtyard is used to |
|
Once plants were in the ground, they needed to be watered |
|
We dig plants |
|
Plants to take home for everyone! |
|
Even future presidents like to get dirty |
|
This father must have a green thumb, which he passed on to his kids |
|
Those are some big gloves to fill |
|
Teamwork helps with heavy watering cans |
|
After weeding, planting and watering the plants, then filling the bird feeders and bird baths, everyone got to take home a plant of their own and a packet of plant seeds. |
|
Thank you to Plant Pals for helping make our library even more beautiful, and thank you to Mrs. Deb for the gorgeous courtyard we all enjoy! |
