A workday was scheduled for the afternoon of May 14, 2019, at the Heritage Museum garden in Eureka Springs.  Mariellen Griffith was joined by Sabina Miller and Deb O’Donnel, members of Northwest Arkansas Master Naturalists who supplied 24 additional native plants for the garden.   Mariellen had began working in the garden prior to its recent re-sanctioning by the Carroll County Master Gardeners.  The museum supplied a budget of $200, so she was able to begin by purchasing soil, amendment, and mulch to use in the bed, along with some native plants purchased from the Master Naturalists.

Our small group worked for an hour planning and planting.  Spring has brought with it the blossoming of the irises and the salvia.   ~ Mariellen Griffith
