Today I worked with three other women on our capstone project for our Master Naturalist class. We were making the entrance to the Wildlife Science Center more attractive. We worked for almost three hours. We pruned, cut, pulled, raked, shoveled, hauled, spread, and planted. We pruned some trees and took out other trees completely. We covered a huge tarp with branches about 6 feet high. The place looks much better now. We improved the soil with compost and peat moss. We planted all native plants including ferns, wild ginger, solomon's seal, jacobs ladder, zig zag goldenrod, wild sunflowers, sedge, and columbine. It is truly amazing what four women gardeners can get done in a couple hours. The place looks great. We will return next month with newspaper and mulch. It is true that many hands make light work.
