Fall Cleanup
September, 2023
A busy day was had at the Leiper House September clean-up. Sticks were picked up, vines and weeds were removed from the stone walls and saplings were removed from the hillside. In addition the Ilex galabra was pruned and garden beds were weeded. An outstanding effort by PGC volunteers led by Wendie Russell.
