We started at 7:30 a.m. with what was expected to be a small planting effort: 10+native grasses, coreopsis, and other quart-sized plants donated by Janice James. Paulette, of course, showed up ready to work, with her nephew in tow. What started as a simple planting quickly turned into a full workday! Together, we removed (some – LOLOLO) Johnson grass, cut back and removed bristlegrass where possible, and cleared the pathway for visitors. Since the City of Princeton celebrated Freedom & Fireworks on June 27th, we were especially glad to leave the garden looking clean, cared for, and welcoming.
