Once a month, Master Gardeners and community volunteers meet in the Children's Garden for a few hours of old-fashioned hard work. The April workday, held on April 7, 2011, was no different.

Prior to the big event, Workday Coordinators Mary Kelly and Joyce Bibby (above) devised a Plan of Attack. On the day itself, Master Gardeners tackled an assortment of projects: Joyce Tillman tidied the Alphabet Garden and planted annuals; Mary Alice Williams worked with high school student volunteers to plant petunias in the Three Bears' Homestead; Marie Daniels made plans for the future of the Butterfly Garden; Joyce Bibby and David Sprung created a great new teepee trellis using crape myrtle poles donated by Howard van Dijk; Hattie Monson, Kathy Murray, and USC student Christine Burke installed a cold frame; Arlene Marturano planted sunflowers amidst the daffodils in Mr. McGregor's Garden; and Chanda Cooper ate the M&Ms thoughtfully provided by Mary Kelly (thanks, Mary!).

Watch the blog for more detailed posts about the new teepee and cold frame, or, better yet, visit the Garden and see them for yourself! As always, thanks to the many volunteers who make the Children's Garden possible.
