April 26, 2008 Clean-up Summary

An amazing amount of work was accomplished thanks to Adena Brook neighbors and Now Get Busy Columbus volunteers. Here are a few things to report:

State Representative, district 22, candidates John Patrick Carney and Michael Keenan along with their supporters pulled garlic mustard.

Todd Burger and Graham students pulled garlic mustard twice this week.

15 Native Iris were ordered from Prairie Nursery. Greg Schneider guided the planting of the iris and also donated and planted Lizard’s tail, halberd-leaved Rose mallow in the rain garden.

The Robinsons and Kenn Cahill led volunteers in a first time ever honeysuckle removal west of High Street. Judy met with Clintonville Woman’s Club members Myrna Dull, Barbara Kramer and Naomi Blodgett to organize this clean up in an area of park land adjacent to the CWC, sawing huge honeysuckle west of High Street on park land.
