Thank You Volunteers!

Feb 24, 2014

It takes a village to maintain the Haven. Our regular volunteers a great job taking care of the Haven, but sometimes there are big tasks that require a larger crew. This past Saturday was our quarterly Entomology and Nematology department workday at the garden. Rose pruning, removal of frost damaged plants, fence-building, irrigation repairs, and plant label-making were among the many duties handled by the volunteers.

Tremendous thanks go to Katie Bright, Janet Brown-Simmons, Felix Klaus, Muree Larson-Bright, Eric Mussen, Nick McMurray, Corwin Parker, Michael Parrella, Marisa Petersen, Melody Schmid, Richard Simmons, J.J. Smith, Billy Synk, Alexa Terrell, Robbin Thorp, Chloe Tuccori, Maria Tuccori, Katharina Ullman, and Kimiora Ward.

The garden will be in fine shape this spring thanks to your hard work.
