 Trish Demers, Laura Austin, Jessica Kruse, Rosa Johnson, Margo Antonelli, Nancy Percivall and Project Chair Gail Schulz Led by Project Chair Gail Schulz, members Margo Antonelli, Trish Demers, Rosa Johnson and Nancy Percivall and incoming members Laura Austin and Jessica Kruse weed the Pollinator Garden at Crofton Library. The iris have started to bloom and the blue false indigo and peony are covered in buds. The garden has a variety of native plants that bloom from spring, throughout the summer, and into the fall, providing nectar and pollen essential for a flourishing pollinator population. The Pollinator Garden is a "stepping stone" on the Anne Arundel County Pollinator Pathway.  Project Chair Don Pogue has been tending to the Native Garden located at Crofton Library. The garden is filling in nicely with native ferns, summersweet, and blue false indigo – just to name a few. The Native Garden creates a haven for pollinators like native bees and butterflies. It is also provides an abundance of seeds, berries, and habitat required for our native bird species. When visiting the library, take a stroll through the Native Garden and enjoy the many native plants.   Led by Project Chair Camille DeVito, members participated in a spring clean-up at the Blue Star Memorial Garden located at Crofton Library.
Members weeded, cut back the daffodils, planted begonias and mulched the garden. Thank you to Camille and her husband Frank, and members Margo Antonelli, Nancy Durose, Barbara Emden, Cindy Hansen, Littany Hollerbach, Rosa Johnson, Patty More, Lois Nichols, Nancy Percivall, Don and Rena Pogue, Kathy Puhak, Gail Schulz and Pat Stevenson for helping with the garden clean-up.  Led by garden tour co-chairs Cathy Gallagher and Maria Guyer, members review plans for the upcoming garden tour on Sunday, May 21. The Chair of each garden tour committee will present information to the members. Following the meeting, "garden teams" will meet with garden homeowners to finalize tasks for the garden tour.
