[Green] Pollinator Habitat update

Unfortunately, I have no update on the solar bench. Here is what I sent the Confluence on the habitat.

Pollinator Habitat Update
On April 29, members of Girl Scout Troop 10100 and Marietta Mayor Josh Schlicher planted an apple tree on the northernmost edge of the upcoming memorial garden. A big thank-you to the leaders and the members of this troop that meets in FUUSM's social hall. You can read the Marietta Times article about the event here.<https://www.mariettatimes.com/news/local-news/2023/04/girl-scouts-pollinator-habitat-work-to-fulfill-tree-promise/?fbclid=IwAR2oSfVXOFbC9toSJsRWJoIIz87yWSx2LrGQEtkeioIzxEoA-pgm79Fa3Qo>

And—we are getting a bench! The Appalachian Ohio Falls Prevention Coalition has commissioned a custom bench from artist Todd Morrow, to be installed overlooking the habitat and the river. The city is about to pour the concrete pad, and the bench should be finished sometime in the next few weeks.

And speaking of the Hoffart/Henderhan Memorial Garden, the originally scheduled planting event was rained out, but heritage plants donated by neighbors and friends are going in the ground on May 21—after church, the Green Sanctuary meeting, and the Danielle Thrasher celebration, of course.
