I just took a look around the Pioneer Museum grounds to be sure there hasn't been a resurgence of Diffuse knapweed there since our last weed-out in June, and I was rewarded with a profusion of native Four O'clocks and native Cosmos, plus all kinds of other natives that will be blossoming again next year. What a delight.
The hard work of Master Gardeners, members of the Native Plant Society, Grand Canyon Trust volunteers, and Pioneer Museum volunteers has paid off. Many, many thanks to all the volunteers who have worked so faithfully and hard to make this amazing transformation at the Pioneer Museum!!
It would be wonderful to have one more weed-out this season to get the few remaining Diffuse knapweed and those nasty annuals that have come up since the monsoons. Please join us on Friday, September 21 from 8 until noon. Come when you can, stay as long as you like. Most of our work will be easy hand pulling. You'll need the usual items: water, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, long sleeved shirt, gloves, snacks, and your favorite hand tools, such as snippers. We'll provide plastic bags and shovels, which will probably not see much use.
