Many thanks to the volunteers at our annual Fall 2023 Planting Day:  Ellen Briggs, Michelle Detwiler, Karen O’Neil and Ellen Reese.  With the help of the hardworking Lower Merion Parks Department crew (which helped us out with the heaviest part of the digging), we added 123 native perennials and shrubs to those beds this Fall.  These included the beautiful yellow-flowered shrub St. John’s Wort, asters, grasses, and golden groundsel.  As always, we also benefited from the efforts of a few members (especially Ellen Reese) who frequently do a bit of unofficial weeding when they visit the park with their dogs.
