Spring Cleaning

It's that time of year again.

Time to clean up the native pollinator gardens.

Most of the plants are either still dormant or they are just coming out of their dormancy.  There is very little to see above ground. At the bases of some plants there are a few green shoots waiting to spring up once weather conditions become right.

The first four photographs show the garden at the Saginaw Chippewa Academy as of yesterday (30 MAR 2015)

I still have the garden at the Mt. Pleasant Discovery Museum left to clean up.  The garden at the Morey Public School Academy was cleaned out last fall by volunteers at the school.
