The Gardens of Fanshawe College

June 6-10, 2016

From Tuesday (7th of June) until Friday (10th of June), myself and the team of student gardeners were responsible for planting Begonias, Euphorbias, Dusty Millers and fountain grasses, as well as transplanting Hostas, and daylilies.

The north entrance was tilled with peat moss and eventually filled in by myself and Jenn with the Begonias, Dusty Millers and Euphorbias; the red color of the Begonias stands out great with the surrounding green foliage.

The East entrance where the buses enter held several Hostas that were split up and transplanted underneath of the maple outside of the H building entrance. These make a great ground cover and should look far livelier after today’s watering.

The Cheapside entrance held several Daylilies that needed transplanting to the strip of soil behind B Building and between C building (just beside the bike rack). Rebecca, Dakota and I planted these after dividing them up with spades and half-moons, placing them in a staggered formation.

It was a great week of work and we got a fair amount accomplished.
