Event Description:
One Brick will be preparing the Tree Fern Dell for winter by pruning to the ground elephant ear and crocosmia. We'll amend the soil with chips, and possibly install some flowering plants.
Meet at the intersection of Conservatory Drive West and John F Kennedy Drive. There will be a city vehicle parked at the site. Tools, gloves, water and snacks will be provided. Be sure to bring some money to join the group after the event for lunch and more socializing!
