The Garden Looks Great

The underpass looks the best it ever has. Weeding by the Herd combined with good flower weather (unfortunately for our summer, raining and cool allot of the time) has brought everything to life.

North West Weeding - Funny Story

Yes weeds had been taking over the North West annual garden. We pulled out about 20 pounds of weeds on Monday night. Funny story is that a local resident left a voicemail for us Monday night about 7pm thanking us for the gardens, but letting us know we had let the weeds go in the Northwest. The weeding got done about 9pm that night by a late night crew of Herd members on their way back from a meeting. It only took 20 minutes and made a huge improvement.

We are sure that local resident was impressed when he looked the next morning and saw the weeding all done!

More Murals Coming

More murals will be coming to the underpass this week thanks to the work of the South Osborne Beautification Committee and the students of Churchill High School. The Herd is really looking forward to seeing what they look like.

Mulch is Spreading

Jason and Tyler spread more of the mulch donated by St. Boniface Pallet on Thursday, further enhancing the North Side. Getty was also weeding and planting some surprises that will sprout a little later.

We intend to keep making the gardens looking better every day this summer and we are making that happen.
