B. Demonstration Garden — Wilda feels we need to finish cleaning up and spread some
compost before any new plantings. Extra watering time by hand was discussed since the
City has had to cut back on water usage. Some of the ladies will try to come up and do
some work during the week to prep for the May 27 Work Day to turn in some new
compost and spread some pine straw at 8:00 a.m.
C. Field Trip to the Community Garden — It was discussed previously of touring the
gardens that Wilda volunteers at and the group is excited for the visit, Wilda will find
out the summer hours and we will discuss further at the next meeting.
D. Fred Winters Memorial — Many different ideas were discussed the only thing really
decided on as of now is it should be something whimsical as Fred was so Quirky will
discuss again at the next meeting.
E. Eagle Scout Project — Rachel Roberts approached Kelly about the Eagle Scouts doing a
project for the KKB, the Board discussed maybe them constructing something for Fred's
Memorial at the Demonstration Garden such as a trellis for the path by the bench. If the
group is interested then we will proceed from there in the future.
VI. Reports /Announcements: Larry Hoover had asked Kelly about suggestions for a sturdy plant
for behind the Memorial Wall in the Park, the group will go out after the meeting to look.
Also Kelly passed around a thank you card from Fred's family for the flowers sent.
