Garden Fairies Spotted at the Community Center!!!

An Herbie "Thank You" to our Community Center. Some of our very own Garden Fairies worked on two of the Community Center gardens. Plants, timbers and mulch were purchased and installed. The back patio garden received most of the hard work with a complete facelift, fresh color, mulch top-dressing and even an inviting walkway to join the Waterway sidewalk.

The small garden in front of the Community Center received a good weeding,, new plants for a splash of color and a dressing of mulch. Many grateful comments came from some of the folks using the Center.

Stop by before the next meeting and take a gander and a sniff.

Grab Your Binoculars - Nesting Egrets and Herons are back in The Woodlands . Linda has watched them nest in a group of pines at Lake Wedgewood near Split Rock and Wedgewood. The group has grown this year. The acrobatics between nests can be easily seen, and heard, from the covered picnic table area across the lake. They usually nest through the end of May so hurry up.
