Next Phase at PTG

We had 13 members show up for a contingency meeting on the future of PTG.  Consensus was to plant out the many gardens using more perennials than annuals.  This would make it easier for the  volunteers to manage the beds.  We will concentrate on annual plantings in the sign garden and elliptical beds for all season colour as well as some annuals throughout the "Wedding Garden" and along the building.  We will also look at planting grasses and utilizing many of the perennials and bulbs growing on in the nursery, transplanting these into the "Sign Garden", "Corner Bed" and "Wedding Garden" to help cut back on weeding.  These areas will be heavily mulched to conserve water as well.  Once implemented these methods should help in eliminating a lot of the time spent weeding and watering these massive areas over the summer.

We currently have a couple of bee hives in the garden and we will need to wait for confirmation on whether the bee keeper will be keeping these hives on site or moving them to a new location.

Vegetables have been planned for some of the rows and we will continue to donate any vegetables that are not utilized by volunteers.  Donations are done instead of letting the unused vegetables rot in the garden.

Our mandate has been and always will be "PTG is in the knowledge business!"
