4th Saturday SPRING HOUSE INSTITUTE had nice and productive workday; cool in the breeze and we got a lot done. Dedicated volunteers weeded the peacock gingers and pulled poison ivy in the beds; raked above the live oak and mulched the tea olive then loaded and spread new clean wood chips; cut up and stacked on the road, a large oak limb that came down in the last April storm. Come on RAIN!!!
