GARDENING WITH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS! Our neighborhood is very fortunate to have a group of neighbors who enjoy gardening and working together to plant and maintain the public gardens planted by UMNA. These gardens have all been funded by grants and designed by Anne Lichtenstein, our own neighborhood master gardener. We put in an hour or a bit more every Wednesday evening starting at 6:30 and devote the evening to one garden (we have 7 - Butterfly on Culver; Monroe Avenue at Culver, Werner Park, Belmont, Laburnam and Engle Place). I cannot post a schedule because we decide each week which garden needs us the most, but I can call you and let you know where we will be if you let me know of your interest. Call Jane Alexander at 244-8415, and join us!

Throughout the summer	GARDENING GROUP - Contact Jane Alexander at 244-8415 to work with a fun group in making our neighborhood gardens spectacular! Calling All Garden Lovers The garden group is busy making plans for beautiful gardens in the neighborhood again this year. We are going to start with a little help from our friends on Clean Sweep Day and follow up with planting the annuals distributed by the city later in the month. Throughout the summer the gardens are maintained weekly by a group of volunteers from the area who meet for an hour (7 to 8 PM) on Tuesday evenings and followed by an ice cream or beverage as needed. This year, we are adding another garden to replace the struggling plants at the corner of Engle Place and Monroe Avenue. Moving that garden back from the trees will give the plants a chance at water and a commissioned fence will enhance the garden while providing some definition and protection. We are fortunate for have a master gardener, Anne Lichtenstein, who plans our gardens and guides our efforts in keeping them beautiful. If you love to garden or just pull a few weeds or meet new folks and learn more about gardens, please join us. To get your questions answered or get on the weekly call reminder list, call and leave a message on Jane's machine at 244-8415. And if you cannot join the group, please, feel free to pull a few weeds as you walk by or just stop by and admire the plants!
