Ever wonder how to properly prune evergreens and deciduous shrubs? Find out on Saturday, November 16 from 9 - 11 a.m. at Wilson Green when Gary Tipler will demonstrate pruning to promote good form and healthy growth. Gary is a seasoned gardener who has helped care for the evergreens at the Blair Street Gardens, and planned the original landscape design for Wilson Green.
Wilson Green is located on E. Wilson Street toward the Capitol, just past the intersection of Willy Street and John Nolen Drive. It's across from The Cardinal Bar and Come Back Inn.
We have pruning tools, but feel free to bring your own if you wish.
We will also be doing some fall clean-up.
We are happy to report that we have been able to recruit several new volunteers and two new Board members, all of whom are enthusiastic, energetic, and creative. Volunteers have kept Blair Street Gardens thriving for nearly 40 years, and the addition of new faces means Blair Street Gardens will continue to thrive.
If you want to be part of the future, consider becoming a Board member! Responsibilities include 1-2 meetings a year, being available for input via e-mail or phone, and volunteering at the gardens. Mentoring and orientation are available. If interested, please email info@blairstreetgardens.org.
Contact info@blairstreetgardens.org if you're interested. Thanks for your consideration.
We are pleased to announce that BSG has installed a second bench at The Gateway Garden. The bench honors Jeff Kuesel, one of BSG’s co-founders. Due to his tireless dedication over nearly 30 years, the BSG continues today. Jeff handled the administration and fundraising, and he spent endless hours planting spring bulbs and summer annuals and tending to the perennials and shrubs. Many of you will remember seeing him working in the Gardens in all kinds of weather during evenings and weekends. Thank you to all who contributed! The bench, designed by local artists Michael Burns and Kevin Earley, is made of white oak and aluminum.
