tree requests and reminder of workday, and a bribe.

[Cindy Decker]

 Hi,  two reminders,

First, I'm getting our annual batch of free trees from Green Columbus on Thursday.

If we get everything we asked for, we should get: 

Asimina triloba - Pawpaw 

Calycanthus floridus - Common Sweetshrub 
Cornus amomum - Silky Dogwood 
Cornus foemina (racemosa) - Gray Dogwood 
Hamamelis Virginiana - Witchhazel 
Lindera benzoin - Spicebush 

 I'll be giving them out later that day and through the weekend.   

 

Please email me (cindy....@gmail.com) directly with  orders now.  You don't have to be directly on the ravine to get these. They are to beautify the city, not just the ravine.

Second,  we will gather 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday to remove lesser celandine and maybe plant a few things. 

Let's meet at the usual spot, under the Calumet Street bridge and I'll put you to work in a few places.  

I can remove about a 5-gallon bucket of the stuff in 2 hours. Think how much we can do with a group. 

The bribe?  I'll offer a jack-in-the-pulpit or a bluebell to anyone participating!

Cindy
