Burnett Garden Club
Sign Renovation Committee meeting
March 2, 2016 4.30-6:00 pm. @ Library
History Room
The committee reviewed photos that Kris
had taken of the current garden in different seasons and a past photo
when it was all annuals. She drew up a schematic of what is planted
in the garden now.
The committee then reviewed a schematic
of proposed annual flower varieties/placement, an initial budget and
possible funding sources done by Kris. An additional $30 would be
added to the budget for Osmocote and Preen.
We discussed:
- A more showy garden is needed, and to go back to planting all annuals there
- Removing all perennials except Karl Foerster feather Reedgrass and the spirea bushes
- Excess perennials would be potted up for the Plant Sale
- After removal of perennials, the garden would need to be roto-tilled and compost tilled in before planting
- Additional wood chips for mulch
- Sources for funding
Actions to do:
- Determine upcoming meetings for organizations and whether they would welcome a short presentation pitch for funding from Kris and available committee members
- Organizations to be contacted—Chamber-Sandy, Lions-Sandy, Rotary-Pam, Village-Janet, Legion-Mary, Women’s Club-Kris. Everyone will let Kris know what they find out
- Kris will develop a short PowerPoint presentation with budget
- Compost and wood chip sources—Kris will contact the village to see if both are available; other sources were discussed if they don’t have any (chips-electric Co., compost-Charlene?)
- Rototiller—Mary will check with Jim to see if theirs can be put in the truck
- Removal of perennials—we will set up a day the week of the Potting Party on May 5th (weather-dependent) to remove all the perennials and bring to the party to be potted up
- Kris will check with Flower Shop for plant availability
Meeting adjourned at 6:00 pm.
Present: Kris, Mary C., Janet, Pam,
Sandy
