B. The demonstration garden does not really need much work sine Kenneth Michaels
and Linda Warner came out recently and helped with maintenance last week. KKB
will be out tomorrow as well to check on the garden and as long it is kept up we
should be fine. Laurie Sanders advised that the library requested milk weed in
orange and red in the front bedding where there are blank spaces available. The
sprinklers in the garden have been turned on. Laurie will see if she has any of the
milk weed in her garden and bring some seeds to plant rather than purchasing new
plants.
