Perennials, Lawnmower & Pond

If you are splitting or getting rid of some perennials - bring them to us and we will certainly make use of them at the farm. We are working on a few gardens to eventually have gorgeous walkabouts for the clients and pooches to enjoy. It only takes 1 plant here and 1 plant there but in a few years will expand and really be an enjoyable place that people will want to visit and enjoy!

We are still looking for someone to work on our old lawnmower and hopefully fix it - not to mow the lawn but at least get it working so we can use it for the parades... although if it does mow, it would be great as the grass is getting taller by the minute without a working mower at the farm!!! If anyone wants to take it and putter around with it to see if they can get it gowing, then we could splash a bit of paint, maybe stencil a dog or two, NARC's name and get it set up with a little trailer for the parades.

We need a few trades men to volunteer their time to fix our bridge over the pond, the bridge itself is very sturdy but the deck on it needs to be replaced. We have the tools, wood & equipment but are so busy with the pooches, medicated baths, medicine time, vet appointments, etc... that we just don't have the time for anything else. It was really pleasant when clients could walk on the bridge and sit there to catch a glimpse of the beaver working, ducks fishing and it would be pleasant to be able to give this back to them. It really was and will be again a really nice spot to just sit and relax with a doggy on your lap! Yup, country in the city and just amazing - really would like to get that back up and running so clients can enjoy and see what I see every day! My family started by planting flowers around the pond to make it look "pretty", now is the time to install the deck on the metal bridge!
