I need to say thank you to Lycoming Audubon society and the other volunteers for help mulching beds this week, I've been out of commission due to some health issues, recently a knee replacement, so being able to rely on volunteers to help with garden maintenance is crucial. I can't thank the volunteers enough!

What's going on with this rose in the garden? Well, it's not good, it's a disease called Rose Rosette Disease, which is a virus, and it's most often fatal.
Signs of the disease are exactly what you see here, increased bunches of branches, called witches brooms, which are red along with the foliage, and excessive thorns. This is one of the roses under the Frances Tipton Hunter sign, and the one next to it has one infected branch. We'll probably prune that one branch out and hope for the best, but the one heavily infected needs to come out completely. The other one may have to come out later.

It may be too cold for water in the fountain, but it can at least look like there is water in there.
You might notice some greenery on the sign at the front entrance too.
Thanks to some of the Penn College Horticulture students for helping plant and transplanting at the rear of the garden last week!

90% off plants at Lowe's, means you can get the front entrance planted.

Here's a nice story I was fortunate to be a part of for WVIA on Way's Garden. There's a few details that they didn't get quite right, but for the most part it's well done. Enjoy

Way’s Garden in Williamsport, Lycoming County is cared for by three commissioners. Carl Bower gives insight on the history and what it takes to care for the garden on W. 4th Street, also known as Millionaire’s Row.
