Mount Juliet Library Project

MOUNT JULIET LIBRARY PROJECT

Spring has sprung and summer is sizzling at the Mount Juliet Library. Volunteer opportunities galore for watering during these hot summer mornings; or, evenings as the library is open until 8:00 pm week days. But, please wear your mosquito repellent!

One person needed for any scheduled day, Tuesday-Thursday-Saturdays. Please let Ronnie Gammons (gidley41@bellsouth.net) or Patti Stein (mammabear329@yahoo.com) know if you can help. We can walk you through the routine. Easy/Peasy! Just wear your badge, get the water faucet key from the librarian, attach the hose and you are good to go.

Enjoy the pictures taken at the library this spring. It is turning into a lovely cottage garden welcoming visitors, especially children; pollinators and birds.

Thanks, Ronnie

A Brief History of the History Garden at Fiddlers Grove

Posted on 18 October 2016 by Greg

Thanks goes out to everyone who came out and helped in creating the History Garden. It was a fun time. It’s amazing how much can get done when we work together.

The Garden has been planted with lettuce, spinach and kale. I also put in flower seeds that need stratification in order to germinate. These flowers will used throughout the Grove and maybe will be available for sale at Spring Fest in April.

Next year the garden will be planted with sorghum, broom corn along with other heirloom vegetables.

Thank you for all that you do!

Butterflies & Caterpillars in the Demo Garden

Posted on 6 August 2016 by Greg

If you plant it – they will come

Today I found 21 Gulf Fritillary caterpillars on the passion vine planted at the demo garden, a beautiful Spicebush Swallowtail sipping nectar from the verbena and a Monarch exploring the zinnia bed.
