I like Douglas Hunt's suggestion of contacting the garden clubs. And you might want to have special events like "lily day" and have people in the community share their plants with you. Maybe a "Kids build a Yellow Garden" day where parents can bring their kids out with a donated plant of a certain color...churches are looking for ways to entertain kids during the summer. Teen agers LOVE to get involved and they are strong! Let it be a teaching experience too...what you require are perennials..."read the planting instructions on height, sun, water needed, etc., and lay out a garden". One thing that is very interesting is a "green" garden where it is set up with different shades of green! They are lovely and are usually plants that require little care! Have fun with it!

Due to the kindness of so many I have put a hard back breaking 9 years, and though I have the Photos to show its annual progress, wanting to display the amazing transformations that have occurred since my last Plea for advice. I will try to find a better way to show all the great accomplishments made .
