It's hard to believe it has been two years since we last visited the hedge hillside to distribute a fresh layer of mulch! Yep, the task is here again and the BMNA is asking for volunteers to help spread 15 cubic yards of mulch around the topiary hedge shrubs. The neighborhood enthusiasm and appreciation for the hedge has helped greatly in the past with many dedicated volunteers stepping up to help! The more the merrier for this event! 

We will also be planting the downtown annual planters on Saturday. We were able to pick up several flats from the overflow of the Bryn Mawr School plant sale, and will be picking up more varieties. For those with a flair and interest for arranging and planting, this one is for you!

Here are the details:

When: Saturday May 17th, meet at the hill side
Time: 9:00 a.m.

Bring what you have available such as:
Tools: large tarps work well to pull mulch up the hill, pitch forks, wheelbarrow, scoop shovels, garden rakes
Shoes: wear tight fitting shoes so your foot doesn't roll in your shoe
Clothing: the weather forecast looks favorable for a cool morning, advise wearing loose clothing and gloves
Water is advised as well.
Thank you in advance and we hope to see you Saturday morning May 17th!
