Woodlands Garden was awarded a grant to plant a new shade garden from the Georgia Master Gardener Association, Inc. (GMGA). The new plantings are in the area surrounding the well installed at Woodlands last year. Quill Duncan and Gail Douglas, Woodlands volunteers and Master Gardeners, applied for the grant.
GMGA, a statewide organization of Master Gardeners, has the stated mission - to stimulate the interest in and increase the knowledge of gardening, and to share this knowledge with others voluntarily, enthusiastically and responsibly.
Woodlands Midweek Gardeners, who volunteer year-round, will provide ongoing maintenance. To learn how to volunteer at Woodlands, email Ruby Bock, manager of Woodlands Garden. Midweek gardeners meet every other Wednesday, 8 - 11 a.m. (summers) and 9 - 11 a.m. (other seasons). You do not have to be a Master Gardener to participate.
Woodlands Garden is a project of the Decatur Preservation Alliance. For more information, contact Susan Cobleigh, DPA Executive Director at 404-371-4444 or susan@decaturpreservationalliance.org.
