What a great way to start spring with a garden makeover...It was fun to share RavenCroft with classmates from the Edmonds CC hort program. After 13 years of growth all hands were welcomed to reduce heaps of wonderful biomass to mulch! Check out Edmonds CC Horticulture program for interesting classes in all aspects of horticulture.

Mike Klima's class opened up daylight in many places in the gardens. Roses, grapes, the willow and rugosa rose hedges all got beautiful haircuts. From sun to torrential downpours, the pruners slogged on!
We have mulch for garden paths and shrub beds, the roadside hedge is once again safe for drivers and the large chipper was well worth the rental fee!
