Elsie – Fitchburg Fireflies 4-H (4)

In the fall of 2019 my older sister and I divided up dozens of plants to donate to a charity plant sale in the spring of 2020. Due to COVID-19, the plant sale was not held. Instead our family planted them on veterans’ grave at the Blooming Grove Cemetery and Lowell Cemetery and my sister got permission to put perennials all around the GAR monument in the Lowell Cemetery. We also with our 4H troop the Fitchburg Fireflies planted every veteran’s grave at the Cottage Grove cemetery. I learned how to divide hostas and other plants in the fall when they are pretty much dormant or else early in the spring when they have a lot of energy to grow. I also learned that there are many veterans who are no longer remembered.
