Five New Trees and a Boulder Terrace

Three new Winter King hawthorns and two Appalachian Spring flowering dogwoods have found their new home in our Wildlife and Respite Garden.  These trees were donated by Karen Garbeil,  Jay and Marya Margolis,  Hazel Murphy, Marilyn and Bob Steiner,  and Jon and Janine Weller.    The trees will be dedicated to their respective honorees in the spring.

In addition, the great guys from Lower Merion’s Parks and Recreation department came to our rescue once again.   Part of the garden sloped so steeply that garden visitors felt lopsided while walking the path.  So, they terraced the steep slope to give us a better path and a nice new garden feature as a bonus.  Thanks Parks and Rec!!
