The steep slope of the MRG pollinator garden behind Goss Logan requires a gardener with the balance and climbing skills of a mountain goat. What luck to find these two young women, Jessy Elfstrom and Mary Patterson. willing to adopt this challenging garden. This Spring’s constant rain has caused burgeoning growth that needs to be reined in – these two are up to the challenge. Today they weeded, divided thick clumps of blue flag iris, and planted Black-eyed Susans. Many thanks to Mary and Jessy for your willingness to take on this garden!

PS I thought that I saw a Karner Blue along Greenway between APD and High Street last week. Could that be?

Hi Bart, If you saw a Karner blue butterfly, that would be very surprising! My inderstanding is that they are mostly found in the pine barrens around Concord. They are New Hampshire’s State Butterfly but are endangered. Here’s more on what is being done to support their survival.
