[from Carol Herwig]
The Cherry Blossom Festival would like to plant three more cherry trees in Petworth in March or April. The first three (planted in April 2005) are in the triangle south of Grant Circle.
Casey Trees, which will supervise the plantings for the festival citywide, has asked me to prepare the application. I need 3-4 people/households who can commit to be available to water the trees at Petworth Library this summer in times of drought (July-August-September). The library has water and hoses. Basically, what we’d do is create a calendar and assign volunteers each week. If it rains, no work. No rain, then it probably takes about 30 minutes to fill the gator bags for three trees. Please email me if you’re able to help out.
Once we get this part of the process completed, we will get a planting date and invite people to come dig.
The Cherry Blossom Festival planting date has been confirmed as Sunday, April 1. Plan to arrive between 9:30 and 10 a.m. and start digging at 10. We'll include the libary in events. Expect breakfast-type refreshments. More details to follow.
