Please help our feathered friends.❤️

Put the shears down when you reach the sedum this fall. Its broad flower heads are still working.

The UC Master Gardener Program of Sonoma County says that if the flower stalks are left standing until spring, the deep mahogany seed heads give the garden winter interest and feed birds, which sit on the flat heads and pull out the seeds. Purdue Extension's LaPorte County Master Gardeners add that sedums like Autumn Joy have thick, fleshy stems that hold up well through winter.

When to cut? In late winter or early spring, the UC gardeners say, cut or snap the old stalks off at the ground, where the new buds are forming. 🍂

National Garden Week Day 6: Last October, during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we with help of community members and friends created a flowerbed at Zuzu’s House just outside Marshfield. We planted native plants, pollinator attracting plants that bloom pink. Stepping stones were painted by one of the members as well as encouraging rocks. These were placed among the flowers. To finish the project, mulch was placed around the plants. Members returned this Spring and were excited at the growth of the flowers. Thank you to all that helped!🥰 Zuzu’s House is a facility that houses homeless teen girls.

National Garden Week Day 5: Native plants are an essential aspect of gardening. The pollinators depend on them for food and survival of the species. The monarch butterfly depends on milkweed as a place to lay their eggs. Do you have milkweed in your yard? One of our members has a dedicated space for native plants.😊

National Garden Week Day 4: For our May meeting we went on a tour of a few greenhouses around Marshfield and Elkland. Members enjoyed the beautiful plants at Still Waters Greenhouse near Elkland, Grass Roots and Marshfield Nursery just outside of Marshfield. Let’s just say that we did our part in helping the economy. Then, we had work to do. Planting.

National Garden Week day 2: In May we hosted the South Central District for the annual Spring meeting. Members of the Mountain View Garden Club and Sunbonnet Garden Club met with the Stargazer Garden Club in Marshfield at Grillo’s Cafe. Members enjoyed a program about a Native American perspective of the bald eagle by Valerie Badhorse of the the American Indian Center of Springfield. Below are a few photos of the day.
