St. Malachy's Flower Planting

Tara

On April 15th I participated at St. Malachy's flower planting of additional bulbs around the parish center. Last time we were there we had laid new soil and mulch around the trees and planted a few flowers but this time we had more supplies.

In this one particular section another girl and I planted 20 Crocosmias and 36 Acidanthera. We dug a hole for each bulb and made sure there was room for it's roots and then covered it back up and watered the area.
In another section we planted lillies, strawberries, and a rose bush. There was over ten different areas that we planted a mixture of bulbs. It was also nice to see the other flowers we had previously planted about two weeks ago in bloom.
