"Carolyn Nahrwold remarked that the circle looks great. Some cornflowers died, and the sedum appeared to be sat on at one point. Generally though,it's looked terrific and even looks good now. Patti Kiggins suggested se put some bulbs in, perhaps some daffodils, to which we all agreed. Maybe 6 clumps of 10 would work.

"Trilla Menkel thanked those members who worked to keep the circle weeded and watered throughout the summer, espcially those who signed up for July." - September17, 1990 Minutes
"The circle has been beautifully tended to this year. Lois and Kathy have been primarily responsible for the weeding and watering. Several other board members have offered to help. Patti Kiggins bought a new hose. We will put out annuals and leave the rest for winter. It was suggested that mums might 'freshen up' the circle."
