Message From Randy: COVID Update 2021-08-11
Hey Guys,
As you are no doubt aware, COVID-19 cases are very high in Arkansas right now.
Social distancing, masks, limited meetings, and other preventative measures should be the order of the day.
Although vaccination rates are increasing, we are again in a risky time for transmission of the new Delta variant of this virus.
Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our valuable volunteers. I urge the vaccinated and non-vaccinated alike to consider wearing a mask at your work project sites, events and other high-risk activities.
I also want to make sure that you are staying hydrated during this heat. Make sure that you are drinking plenty of water.
Stay Safe,
Randy

Happy Gardening!!

Pinnacle Mountain Workday: 2021-08-05
Pinnacle Master Gardeners work the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month as long as the weather cooperates. Part of our workday includes a review of what is budding and blooming in the four areas around the Visitor’s Center and parking area – and out of this review is usually a learning experience. We are fortunate to have seasoned Master Gardeners that enjoy sharing their knowledge with the Pinnacle Team. This day Don Ford shared the difference in the two Ironweed plants. One is an Arkansas Ironweed the other is a Missouri Ironweed In one picture you see the two types of Ironweeds. Take a look at the filament under the bloom of one of the plants – this is the Arkansas Ironweed.
We invite the PCMG to come out to Pinnacle to see the beautiful native plants. Lots of buzzing going!
