The North Garden Bed was installed on March 29 at The Common Ground. This was an Eagle Scout Project by Tim Cowan, with guidance from the purple lady Nancy Angermaier, a Common Ground Board Member. The Eagle Scouts learned how to plant trees and shrubs and how to properly space them in the new planting bed along the fence on the north side. Organic gardening and methods of weed control were demonstrated.
 

Get in on this major project at your favorite Sayville park by joining the continuation of Tim Cowan’s Eagle Scout Project on April 5, 2008.

We will continue to learn how to plant and space perennials and bulbs among trees and shrubs in varying degrees of sun and shade. One of the evergreen perennials blooms in February to brighten up the winter garden, don’t you want to know what it is? We will be using both plants as a ground cover and newspaper with mulch to suppress weeds. There will be an introduction to water-efficient drip irrigation.
