Bronson Centre Project - Stage II
August 16, 2009, Pictures & text by Jean Stalker
Stage I | Stage II | Stage III
We returned to the Bronson Centre on Sunday, August 16 to continue the
work started August 8.
Participants in Stage II were: Gillian Macdonnell, Jennifer Mix, Connie
Munro, Josie Pazdzior, Jennifer Rae, Margaret Scratch, Sylvia Spasoff,
and Jean Stalker.
We planted an array of carefully
selected small trees and shrubs and
relocated the existing hostas to complement their new neighbours.
Some of the new barberries are truly beautiful.
Some of the Spireas look great in an urban site.
The edging posed a special challenge.
It has a mind of its own.
It put up quite a fight.
We paused for a well-earned break.
By the end of the morning, the site looked quite promising.
Stage III is scheduled for Saturday, August 22, starting at 9:30 am. That’s when we spread the mulch and sow the grass seed. Join us if you can; there is a lot of satisfaction in rejuvenating a city landmark.
Please contact Jennifer Mix, Community Planting Committee, if you have any questions about the project.
