We need your help. Our entrances have flowers planted that need to be watered every other day for this year as they establish their roots. We need our neighbors to pick a week (3-4 dates a week) to volunteer to water the entrances. You can pick both entrances or one entrance. Our signup sheet is →HERE←. We are predicting until the end of October to monitor and water our entrances for this year.
Why we are asking
- To save on costs
- Installing dedicated sprinklers for the Ellsworth and Lohr entrances beds is deferred until 2024 due to road construction expense
- Herbal Thymes is roughly $100 a visit to water flowers
- To help maintain our front entrance curb appeal
What is entailed?
- Connect a hose we provide to the water spigot of specific co-owner homes, for which they have graciously given their permission again this season
- Water the plants for 15 minutes
- Log you completed the watering for your signed-up date and entrance
For those who sign up, more details will be provided directly to the email you provide as a contact email.
Additional Points
After 20 years, we finally switched to all perennial plants to save us $1000 to $1200 a year in annual flowers that have to be replaced every year. The perennials will take roughly 3 years to grow into a lush garden if we all pitch in together to help keep it watered and thriving. If any of the plants die this first year and we can prove we watered consistently, they are warranted and will be replaced at no cost.
What did we do in years past?
- Paid Herbal Thymes to keep the plants watered
- 2 board members tirelessly watered the plants all by themselves with the help of 1 or 2 neighbors
- Prayed for rain
