Hi all,
I still have : Rosemary, Sage, and Russian Sage, which are waiting for
a permanent home in the Newark People's Garden..

I can drop them off today. Will someone dig them in, and assume
responsibility for their care? All 3 need frequent watering until they
are established, esp. if we have a return to 90 degree weather.

Russian Sage, [which is not a sage] is aromatic, beautiful, attracts
bees and butterflies. Is not picky about soil. Once established it
needs no care, and will continue to delight for years.

Pls let me know.

Hey Ellen,

 

Thanks for this email. I truly believe that it's safe to bring the plants. We have topsoil that we can add to the the ground so that they have some really good soil to help strengthen their growth. Additional help will be with us today and some of them are gardeners. So please bring your non edible plants. The bestes you are! :-)

 

Tobias
