Read MoreGreetings, Garden Friends,
Trees! I have tree news. At our Board meeting this morning the Board voted to go ahead with a tree planting project to commemorate our 100th year of affiliation with the Garden Club of America. A grove of six trees will be planted near the Lower Lake in the chain of lakes the Shakers dammed in the mid-19th century. The space is west of “Lovers’ Lane” and south of the footbridge over the west end of the lake as it empties into Doan Brook on the way out to Lake Erie. This area was hit hard by the microburst in September 2019 and a number of surviving trees are not in good shape. Our trees will be native species.

Both SLGC and GCA went on to prosper.

Read MoreAs the SLGC Liaison for the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, I attended their Annual Board Meeting on September 23. So much has been happening on the 20 acres at 2600 South Park Blvd. Most impressive is their continued outside construction projects along with the pivoting work efforts to create new online programming and educational opportunities. They remain strong and are more-than-ever relevant to our community! Here are a few highlights.
