Did you know that there are many small garden niches at ERUUF and that the Garden Team would love for you to adopt care of one of them? Today we’ll talk about the office garden which sits directly outside of the office windows. Key features of the office garden are a river birch, an Encore rose and a memorial statue to Holly and Ross McKinney for their twelve years as covenant group leaders. The garden exists partly in shade and partly in dry hot sun, creating a challenge for planting.
In 2019, the garden was renovated with new plantings of yew and sedges and is doing well. With the new plantings, the office garden needs minimal, but important, care. Tasks mainly include removing all the river birch branches that fall down and some of the leaf litter that gets blown onto the garden from the patio. Occasional weeding is required. The rose is professionally pruned by the Garden Team. If you would like to spend 1-3 hours a month keeping this garden looking its best, please contact Barbara Beaman.
