Courthouse Rose Gardens – Old Photo

Posted on September 7, 2017 by paul.nolte@sbcglobal.net

Attached is something I found in a book Gary recently received as a gift that I think was ordered through the Newspaper.  It has a lot of old pictures of various places in Little Rock.  It is a little hard to tell much about the gardens at the Court House and may not be helpful but is interesting.  Robinson Auditorium looks great.

CRG – April 18, 2016

Posted on September 7, 2017 by paul.nolte@sbcglobal.net

We planted fill in plants-

  • 16 Little Pixie lorpetalum
  • 14 Buddleia/butterfly bushes, an unnamed variety.

These were not the plants we wanted. They were the plants the Grounds Supervisor, Tod Creed, got for us.
We also took soil samples.

CRG – Our First Workday

First workday, March in 2016, was a busy month. We had the ground crew put metal edging around the holies in the garden and add edging around a long row of new holies that were planted in front of the large brick wall.  The plants there had been severely damaged by weedeaters. We also pruned the roses down to one foot and cleaned out years of debris that had accumulated. We also fertilized the roses for the first time and decided on a pruning and fertilizing schedule.
