Salem Animal Hospital Garden Revitalization Members Only
Members Only Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation
Presentation of the use of native plants in all the gardens to the owners of the Hospital. First step is to grow sturdy bushy hedges to keep out dogs. Owners do not want to use fencing. There are 8 gardens that we will be addressing. Any plants must not be toxic
Presentation was developed at a regular monthly meeting with everyone's input on hedge selections. Suggestion was to do this in two parts. Grow hedges first and then add ground covers and flowers to beautify the inside of all the hedges.
Most gardens are rectangles and the hedges would be 3 sided. 5 gardens are visible from the patient rooms which necessitates the need for flowers on the inside of the hedges.
No expense to the WO as seeds will be purchased by the Owners. I will be presenting and once seeds come in, I will be starting them for the owners so they will be ready to plant in spring.
