Seaside Herb Society members cleaned up their community garden at Bailey Riverbridge Gardens on Saturday, Sept. 27.
The community garden has been located in the park since 1993, according to a press release. Members Jennifer Campbell, Sue Gavette, Rebekah Mead, Andrea Forster and her husband Carl and nephew Rico completed the recent major cleanup effort.
Andrea Forester contributed a large aloe plant to the garden and Gavette planted a large marshmallow plant she started from seed last spring.
Mead contributed two mustard varieties that were cultivated from seed, and Campbell subsequently transplanted them into the garden beds. Mead also cut back the butterfly pea vine and Rico pulled weeds.
Additionally, Trish Vevera, a local artist and member, painted bricks to label various herbs in the garden to help visitors identify the plants, adding an educational element to the garden, the press release states.
The Seaside Herb Society meets every third Saturday of the month from September to May at 9:30 a.m at the Bailey Riverbridge Gardens meeting house, 1 N. Beach St. New members are welcome.
