Park Semper Fi

We had a productive day at Park Semper Fi on Wednesday, January 12. Sherry Christensen trimmed the Lantana bushes and deadheaded the Marguerite plants.

Launa Gould and Kieu Doan were also there on January 12th and gave the Manzanita bush a good trimming to show off its beautiful burgundy trunk. They had a great time but really wish more people were there to help keep our garden in tip-top shape.

Sherry Christensen, newest garden club member—Izi Hinds and Sally Mills joined Kieu Doan (not pictured) at Park Semper Fi to work in the garden. They trimmed back several Lantana bushes, pulled out lots of weeds and deadheaded spent blooms. Jointly, they filled up three large black trash bags full of green waste. It was a very hot day, but they managed to get a significant amount of work done.

A big group of hardworking members gathered at Park Semper Fi. Kieu Doan and Deborah Spang are pictured trimming the spent blooms on the Margarite shrubs. It was a productive morning while visiting with each other and enjoying the beautiful spring weather.

Jim Proett is pictured with the two-foot-tall palm tree he removed from the garden's slope. Sometimes—perfectly healthy plants are just growing in the wrong area and need to be moved. This tree will be finding a new, more appropriate home.

Susan Reveal, Sally Mills, Shenni-Yi Lo, Izi Hinds and Sherry Christensen pulled out weeds and planted many cuttings of the Bulbine frutescens from Izi's garden.

The Channel Islands Tree Poppy (Dendromecon harfordii) was in full bloom. It was only fitting to take a picture of the on this beautiful day.

Simone Costes cut back some of the Sage plants that were starting to encroach on other plants.

Kieu Doan and Weej Baggaley took on the job of pulling weeds and replanting Bulbine frutescens plants. The Lantana bushes that were trimmed last month are growing back nicely.
