Woodlawn Gardening – 2014 Review

Some highlights here from our 2014 activities.

Flowerbeds makeover at 64th and Cottage Grove.  Thanks to GROW, Living Room Cafe, and Inspired Community Garden volunteers who made this happen.  Mix of perennials and annuals.  Lyme Grass, Northern Sea Oats, Miscanthus, Amaranthus, Marigolds, Petunias, Coleus.  Most of the annuals were started from seed.  Perennials came from divides.
