Watering Schedule for Town Planters

From our PR person, John Ferrante:

HI GARDENERS,

Now that the planting has been completed, it is time to establish a watering schedule for both the Main Street and Town Hall Planters. On Main Street, you will need watering cans/plastic pales and can get water at Kings Auto, Williamson Hardware and in front of the Tanning Center. At the Town Hall, you may need to get the water valve key from the Library or bring a couple of cans of water from Main Street. It would probably be a good idea to check the smaller planters of individual shops to verify they are being watered too. To date, the Library has not requested our help with their gardens for 2007. By the way, some planters will need watering even if we have rain because they are located under awnings.

While I was watering the planters this morning (5/14/07), I asked Mike Orr (Kings Auto) if we could keep a calendar with the watering records on his office counter. He agreed and would be willing to let a member know when the last recorded watering was done if a member called his shop. If you water outside Mike's shop hours, please call me (589-9557) and I will record the watering the next day.
Please call me if you could help out on the watering this summer.

Thanks,
John Ferrante

P.S. The Garden Club will be selling plants and handing out our club literature this Saturday (5/19/07) in the Craft Area starting at 12:00 Noon. We could sure use your help.
