Pollinator garden work party
Hayward Community Gardens Apiary 24919 Whitman St, Hayward, CA, United StatesWeather should be fantastic. This will be a pivotal week for the garden as we head into summer.
- Pull weeds and cut back the Vetch ( a great green compost)
- Install the new watering system. Most of the bits are purchased.
- Plant Lavender borders. I have several flats of lavender sprouted in 4" pots that will make a fantastic border later this year.
- Plant any other plants that are brought to the garden.
