SUMMARY:Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Extra work session\, May 2nd was rained out.  \n\n\n\nSerious rain will cancel.  Or a rain call will be made by 7:30 am. \n\n\n\nWork Plan:  Mulching\, with the help of DPW interns\, in bare areas throughout the gardens. \n\n\n\nUPDATE ON WHAT WAS DONE:  Area 3 & 4:  We began the cutting back of some overgrown mountain laurels in area 3 and 4 in the lawn oval.    Area 3 and 4 at the lawn oval has invasive plants but we will remove them next year when there are red flowering dogwoods and white dogwoods and more mountain laurels and Korean Azaleas to infill the existing ones.   Area 3 and 4  is cleaned and planted and mulched.  Rabbits are eating the cotoneaster and have begun chewing on the bark of the old azaleas.   \n\n\n\nArea 1: This weekend we planted:Mountain laurels and Korean Azaleas in the middle of Area 1.  Two types of cotoneaster adjacent to the Korean Azaleas Area 1 \n\n\n\nArea 2:  This weekend we planted:Dogwoods among the pines in Area 2 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nArea 7:This weekend we planted: Thunberg’s spirea and blueberry and mock orange in Area 7 mixed in with existing other spirea.  Arrow wood Viburnum behind the Kentucky Coffee Tree.  We also put up a rabbit fence.   We will extend the mulch  to the yew hedge when the mulch is available.  We agreed the Sargent Crabapple that is trained as a standard needs to be replaced because it is the  wrong shape\, and it has a large  wound on the main trunk which will lead to disease.    \n\n\n\nArea 5  The elm trees will be planted in the lawn oval. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nParking:      We provide free parking permits for parking near the Carriage House \n\n\n\nWear gloves.  Bring water and hand tools if you want.  We have long-handled tools and garden carts. \n\n\n\nEmily’s cell / text:617-750-0106

SUMMARY:Volunteer Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Gardeners interested in helping to maintain the Robbins Garden-  May 9\, 7:30pm coffee Dear folks\,  As hopefully you have noticed\, the WInfield Robbins Memorial Garden – the one at the center of Town located between the Library and Town Hall\, is slowly being restored.  The reflecting pool is repaired\, the Indian restored and the garden at the side of town hall and the area around the Indian have many new plants.  As we move into Spring\, we are planning how these areas as well as the resst of the garden will be maintained this year.The Garden Club and the Friends of Robbins Town Gardens will be working on alternate Thursdays – weeding\, pruning\, watering and checking on the overall health of the older and newer plants.  We need volunteers to help us with maintenance this summer.  To get an idea of how many volunteers we might have who will be willing to help us\, we are hosting an evening coffee/tea gathering on May 8 at 7:30  in the Lyons room at Town hall.  At the gathering we’ll be going over the various tasks the two groups will be working on\, introducing you to key people who will be helping with this effort – master gardeners and historic gardeners who will be on hand to oversee our work and teach us about garden maintenance.Volunteer commitments usually run 2-4 hours / week with lots of flexibility from week to week.We look foward to meeting you.Christine HarrisPatsy KraemerEmily SnyderMona McKindleyJoAnn RobinsonRobert Cunniff
