The rear of the clubhouse is always a focus for our wedding parties and group gatherings here at
Glen Echo. We have a couple of nice ornamental beds that are away from the building but they are to small to have four seasons of interest. We are in the process of expanding the beds over the next few weeks.
Becky will be designing it with plants that will flower during the three growing seasons and will also have some architectural interest during the winter. Becky ripped out the existing plants yesterday and has formed a new border. I sprayed with a backpack selective and non-selective weed killer to reduce the competition of the bermuda grass. We will strip out this material next week and will add soil, compost, expand the irrigation and it plants will be installed. She will be adding more plants next spring and of course will have some splash of annuals for color next summer as well.

| Light not the greatest but bed looked really good this season. |

| Plants removed and new outline with spray marking the area. |

| Very nice planting next to scoreboard but a little small. Expanded border will allow for some structure to be placed in it for off season interest. |
