My neighbor and I took advantage of Sunday's sunshine to visit the Shakespeare Garden in Cedar Brook Park, where last November the Plainfield Garden Club created a sloping bank and planted 350 very special daffodils.
The bulbs were planted in groups of five, with the thought that over the years they will fill in the entire bank. To read more about the planting last November, click here.
The plants look very healthy and the Garden Club members' hard work is evident throughout the garden. We did notice deer hoof prints and nibbled plants in some spots and a newly planted bed where there had been a holly tree. Nature always has some challenges for gardeners!This garden is one of Plainfield's gems and is worth a visit any time during the growing season. By June, it will be at its peak and the Plainfield Garden Club is planning a "Shakespeare in Bloom" event on June 11. Mark your calendar now and come out to admire the garden and say thanks to the ladies who voluntarily maintain it.
