ARBORETUM WORK DAY

A crew of Master Gardeners and Trainees worked in the gardens at the Arboretum this week. Early fall chores included weeding (as always), pulling out errant vines from shrubs, deadheading perennials, light pruning of wayward branches, and mulching. Here are a few pictures of the happy workers.
