Art In The Garden




We had a wonderful time this morning painting gourds to use for toad abodes and birdhouses and planting our toad abode. The tadpoles have been transferred with many cool damp places to hide under logs gourds and stones around their new toad abode,ready for when they hop out. Cattails and horsetail are planted in the garden tote we used for a pond and a water loving canna is planted southwest of the tote for evening shade with a fern to the east. More plants will be added for shade and hiding places for frogs and toads.

We still need more signs painted, we did paint a bright blue chalkboard we can use to announce future events so keep your eyes open and feel free to join us. We also put up our prairie sign so folks will know something grand is coming, I am afraid it won't look like much for a year or two but don't mow it, be patient!
