Fall Plantings

Becky is beginning to do some of our fall planting in our high traffic areas around the clubhouse and pro shop.  Plants will include Pansies, a few mums, ornamental grasses, kale and a few other surprises.  She also has some plans for the four large urns in front of the main entrances for the fall and winter season.

Becky has contributed greatly to our staff this season.  Beds were well maintained and she was able to make some very good plantings out of the plants I stuck her with that were ordered and grown in the greenhouse this spring.  She had to work very hard in catching up on some of the more professional horticulturist work that we were not able to accomplish over the last couple of year.  She is beginning to develop some ideas for next season's plantings and greenhouse crop.  At the time she was hired, the job was only budgeted for 9 months so we hope that we can retain her for next season.  I hope the position can be returned to full time next season but that will be evaluated in the budget process this winter.
