Some Asian Collection volunteers...

...only some of them because Angela and Terri were mulching, Pat took the picture, and Debby came in early and had already gone home! Lots of volunteers = lots of work and a well maintained garden.

Yesterday we divided daylilies and Iris japonica and spread them out over large bare areas. We removed a persistently unhappy patch of Sarcococca, helped mulch a large bed across from the parking lot, and deadheaded all the peonies that had completed their bloom. Plus we pulled a good number of weeds and did the odd bit of minor pruning.
