Back-breaking work today spreading the Sweet Peat over the Butterfly Garden and mixing it into the soil by shovel. Richard didn't have access to his rototiller, or at least he thought he didn't until he got home and found a voice mail message saying he could pick up his rototiller!
Notice the raised bed behind Richard in the picture above -- the rocks have fallen over. After we finished with the Butterfly Garden we repaired the rockwork - it took Richard and Ryan together to move the larger rocks into place. The picture below shows the bed ready for planting.
Eklund Garden is located at 10 Oak Valley Road in Shelton, CT, near Hope Lake and the Recreation Path. The blue-blazed Paugussett Trail passes through the garden.
Volunteers are needed! See our sign-up page for more info.
