Yesterday’s cleanup at Prince of Peace’s Peace Circle Garden was a perfect morning for pulling weeds—cool temperatures, cloud cover, and no rain created ideal working conditions. Littany Hollerbach, Project Chair, brought along morning music that lifted everyone’s spirits as they worked. Volunteers Nancy Durose, Trish Demers, Littany Hollerbach, Patty More, Nancy Percivall, and TLC volunteer Yuki Adams rolled up their sleeves to tackle persistent grasses and the flourishing Carolina geranium, a winter annual that’s made itself at home in the garden. As the team worked, they discussed native plant options that could leaf out and provide cover for the spring bloomers that are now fading back. Yuki shared a clever tip for tidying up daffodil foliage—tying the dying leaves with a gentle self-knot—which immediately made the garden look neater and more cared for. Standing proudly at the heart of the garden, the large Japanese maple remains the centerpiece of this peaceful space. Photo Credit: Trish Demers
