Divide & Multiply March 30th Work-Learn Day




The beauty of plants is that they love to grow! And by doing so, they outgrow their places or congest their root systems or cause havoc by performing poorly in the garden. So we, the gardeners, must divide and multiply!

Join me for a morning of plant division in the Womb Garden followed by a hearty lunch and short class on different kinds of root systems and how to make many plants out of one! Day lilies, monarda didyma, Siberian iris, spearmint, rhubarb and many more will be lifted.

Work-Learn days are offered as an energy exchange. You work for 4 hours, then eat and learn as my gift back to you. Divisions of plants will be sold after class.

Sunday, March 30 (9:30-1:30 garden work, 1:30-2:30 lunch, 2:30-4:30 mini-workshop)
Please RSVP 206-694-2530 or email eaglesong08@gmail.com

March Pruning Event with Edmonds CC Pruning Class










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!
