We now have water supply at our native plant and pollinator garden. The garden is located on the left side of Newman’s Neck Road as you enter the neighborhood; it was established by the efforts of Sue Mc. in early 2019.
Since the garden was established the only way to water the plants was to load buckets of water into a vehicle, fill them, drive to the side of the road, then carry and dump the buckets into a galvanized cattle trough in the garden (see a photo on the garden page).
Now, thanks to six of our neighbors who volunteered time and labor, there is a frost-free hydrant at the garden with water available year-round.
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
