Our theme for this year is
Garden to Renew, Restore, and Revitalize As Lady Bird Johnson once said, "Where flowers bloom, so does hope." Although this past year saw isolation, cancellation, anxiety, and grief, we hope that gardening, whether the physical act or the enjoyment of, brought peace and nourishment to your soul. We look forward to a year filled with enlightenment, joy, friendship, and laughter! "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow." - Audrey Hepburn

At this time of year our gardens are not at their best, but to birds, insects, butterfly larvae, moths, spiders, and small critters the garden provides food and shelter. So before you cut back those brown flower stalks and rake the leaves consider leaving plants that offer seeds for wildlife: ex. Echinacea, Filipendula, Agastache, and Sedum. Leaves can also provide protection for your perennial plants as well as winter shelter for many beneficial pollinators and insects. Be mindful of this when you handle your rake this year. Sit back and enjoy the winter garden. For more information: https://xerces.org/blog/leave-leaves-to-benefit-wildlife
Pingree Park Garden is a mini Public Garden or a ‘Garden Space’ that lives as a project maintained by HWGC members and volunteers, for many years to come.
