Archived Newsflash emails can be read at: https://mthollynewsflash.blogspot.com Hi.  I am looking to hire someone for gardening. I had hired a couple, but they are over-extended due to Covid back-up.  Specifically, I have two beds that have not been tended for at least a decade and a half, overgrown with ferns and raspberry suckers that need to be extirpated and then I have perennials which need to be planted.  Hoped to get at the beds myself but cannot – broken wrist and torn meniscus.  Contact Joan: connor@ohio.edu or 259-2773.  Thank you.

The tour will take a little more than an hour. Call 259-2460 for more information. If it rains the tour will be of the museum's collection.
