Surviving the Summer heat

This past month has been hot!
But a few intrepid gardeners still made their way to our gardens at
Folly Farm Nature Preserve and Mullet Creek Park.
Thank you for your beautification efforts and your work in the nursery. 

The Parks are really looking good, 
 people are very appreciative, and the nursery has never looked better! 

We had our first Mullet Monday and Tuesday!

The first Monday and Tuesday of the month
we are beautifying the already awesome Mullet Creek Park

We had a nice outing at the Moccasin Lake Nature Park
to join in and support the celebration of their 40th Anniversary
Our information table with a seed planting station was a hit!
Thanks to all of our volunteers!
