[Fuusmchat] Work party and FREE PLANTS

[Rebecca Phillips]

FREE PLANTS!
In case you missed the news, the Fort Street Pollinator Habitat is being prepared for a minor redesign requiring the removal of many specimens of the larger species of plants and a relocation of some of the smaller species. Volunteers will be meeting at 9:00 AM this Saturday, October 12, to remove as many as possible. (Plants that need to remain in place are marked with pink tape).
These are not bad plants, just too enthusiastic to play well with some of our other choices. If you have (or are considering installing) a native plant area on your property, anything you dig can be yours. The species up for grabs include cup plant, New England aster, Drummond's aster, one of the white asters (I no longer remember which one), sawtooth sunflower, and probably others that I do not remember. In terms of non-natives, the species cannas in the memorial garden area also need to be thinned, along with some of the bearded irises.
Please note that long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toed shoes are recommended as this has been a distressingly good year for poison ivy. Also, please bring your own shovel , digging fork, and containers for carrying away your chosen plants. These are large, healthy specimens.
I hope to see some of you at the habitat on Saturday![No photo description available.]<https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10232729312563230&set=a.1347353811947&__cft__[0]=AZU0RrGEcdHml5uz4zq0BBuO6dkKHBYnrSlV-bJXTFISh-c6FCYbOImVo3hNvgsWu45NhGart22j6YJRNojLaLkE52RvOxkolH6kAsUbHh6q9oAXUfjODiNHZ_Z47iFBgYA&__tn__=EH-R>
