Barrington Bloomers meeting held at the library
10 members in attendance
Meeting to decide on garden sculpture: Three entries were presented for voting. The
sculpture chosen was by Joshua Torbick of Portsmouth. Titled "Nest in Oak
and Steel" runner up was Adam Pearson who had been our first sculpture in
the garden artist. Great job on all the entries, too bad we could only pick
one! Nancy will make the decal for the plaque. Joshua wins $200 prize money for
this entry. He will erect the new sculpture by mid-May.
Also thanks to Joanne Pearson for taking the sculpture we had
up since last year back to Jill Noonan from Bedrock Gardens.
Thanks to all for helping with the town garden cleanup. Sure
goes quick with lots of people. Thanks to Jeff and Kim for hauling all the
debris away. Thanks to Bob and Lynn for bringing the mulch. Other members in
attendance: Coleen, Nancy, Heather, Joanne, Barb, Marilyn, Lydia, Karolina and
Cindi. great job everyone!
Karolina will Woodburn plant names on stakes, as requested
by people visiting the garden.
Sign-up sheet for garden maintenance schedule was passed
around. will post when completed.
May 16 we will be doing a tour of Rolling Greens Nursery in
Greenland. Time will be 6:00pm so car pooling will have to leave no later than
5:15 from the library. Rain date will be May 23rd. Beth the owner has offered
to give us a 10% discount for that evening on purchases. Hope you all can join
us for this.
WE need to get confirmation of attendance for the Pickity
Place field trip in Mason, NH. Dates are June16 or 23, both are on a
Saturday as It's about and hour & ahalf away. We will carpool for this and
will announce the actual seating time when we get confirmation. It is a
wonderful place to tour the gardens and enjoy the 3 course meal made from local
homegrown fare. Hope you can attend.
It was suggested as a possible field trip to Misty Meadows
Farm and Herbal Center, Karolina was looking into this for us.
June 2 will be the Friends of the Library's annual plant
sale. We will need volunteers as we plan on having a raffle for Barrington
Bloomers on site during the sale. It's a great time to stock up on new plants
and learn from other gardeners in attendance. The raffle will be a gift
certificate for Golden Meadows in Somersworth, NH. Thanks to Cyndi Cowland for
her donation.
Happy gardening!
