Cottage Garden Care May-August
Please note that we have a summer care schedule for the cottage garden. Mark these days on your calendar. There are three days of the week and times of day to choose from. We’re hoping this will encourage members to pick a day and time that works with your schedule. If you can’t make it to a specific care day, you are most welcome to stop by anytime it’s convenient for you to pick up debris and pull a few weeds. Invite a friend or family member to join you! If you have any questions, please text Pam Cammarata (770-314-9541)
