From Sandra Elliott

The first photo is Sandra Elliott- Lt. Beautification. Michael, who came along and offered to help and did a great job raking and cleaning up the area post cuttings. And Angie Gastall who made a return engagement to help with the Pruning of the Hydrangeas.

The second photo is Mr. LaLima and Angie Gastall - Beautification Committee Member. She did a Great job and brought her sense of humor to the task. Mr. LaLima stated, “ You all are having too much fun over there!” He was very patient with us and at the end appreciated ALL the help that day, as usually completes this large task on his own.

The third photo is Louise Keane. She was very eager to learn about Pruning Hydrangeas. And also did a GREAT job corralling the cuttings with the leaf blower.
Hope you enjoyed the Pictures!

Write-up by Bonnie Bliss-Camara and pictures from Sandra Elliott ….

The weather was very typical for New England. Our day started out raw, cold and windy while we waited for David LaLima.

About 7 members braved the weather and were ready with their gloves and clippers. Bonnie Bliss-Camara called David, he did not answer so the group decided to go home. Bonnie and Sandra Elliott talked for a while. And lo and behold David called back and he was there across the bridge pruning hydrangeas with Ann Kozak.
The sun was out and the temperature warmed, so Bonnie, Sandra and Ann learned how to prune the Panicle hydrangea named “Quick Fire “.
David was a very knowledgeable and wonderful teacher. He demonstrated how to prune this particular hydrangea which grows off of new growth not old wood. David was patient and helpful sense of humor. He added that the Quick Fire was a growing plant so you can’t go wrong which put us all at ease. Altogether we pruned 42 Quick Fire plants.
Sandra is hoping to coordinate more pruning times with David LaLima and the Garden Club members at Heritage Park in the future.
