One of the first steps completed on the Winters Community Library Teaching Garden was the removal of several trees and a number of shrubs from the area for the pollinator garden.

Pat Riley (WFoL member) donated his time, expertise, and equipment (chain saws, shredder, and stump remover) for removing trees and shrubs with the help of Garry Douglas, Ed Scianna, and Stephanie Myers (also WFoL members).
Next steps are to prepare a landscape design, install an irrigation system and pathways, then prepare the ground for planting this spring and fall (2019).
See the following photos showing the garden area progress and outdoor furnishings as of May,29, 2019.
