Sensory Garden Improvement Project

After 5 cubic yards of compost was spread at the October work party, these plants were installed in the Sensory Garden on 10/9/16. At the same time, new plants were added to the Winter Garden in the area where these 2 gardens meet. A rose & 2 Osmanthus x burkwoodii were removed from the Sensory Garden. Very little else was growing in this area at that time. The 5 lowest branches of the Katsura Tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) were removed.
