On Saturday, 22 March several OATHS volunteers gathered to do some spring cleaning in the OAT gardens. Many thanks to Toni Bourke, Ann Hamill, Jane McCarthy, and Virginia Pruitt for starting so early, and for finishing the job. The perennials were trimmed, the weeds pulled, and hopefully the cold weather will be behind us and we can plant our basils. Will keep you posted on whether all three of the satsumas survived our unseasonably cold 11 degree temperatures, but one surely has new growth. Thank goodness!

The Herb Garden at the Governor’s Mansion was cleaned up by Mary Louise Garrett and Carolyn Gomillion. The garden has been overwhelmed by a large pyracantha, and with some judicious tree trimming next week, it will receive the proper amount of sun. Progress for sure.

Again, many thanks to all the volunteers!
