			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Thursday we had a Staff Planting Day. While there may indeed be a few staff I might like to see planted this was really about non-Horticulture staff helping in the gardens for a couple hours. A chance for the poor souls to get outside and experience non-fluorescent light. A chance for them to feel air moving not by machine but by the forces of nature. A chance for them to get some dirt under their nails as they scrape and climb their way up the corporate ladder. Turn out was excellent, about 24 people. Here’s a large group at the Sutphin Fountain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5398" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/12-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5398" title="12" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/12-1280x960.jpg" alt="12" width="502" height="374" /></a></p>
<p>We actually had to separate them into three groups going off with different Horticulturists. Even then we ran out of planting work and a large group worked on cutting back some daffodil foliage. In less than an hour we got around 70 flats planted.<br />
I only managed to photograph the people working in my areas. I tried very hard not to get a bunch of butt shots. No one ever seems to want to be immortalized with their hiney pointed at the camera.</p>
<p><span id="more-5397"></span>A very relaxed plantswoman.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5399" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/22-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5399" title="22" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/22-400x300.jpg" alt="22" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Busy  hands.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5400" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/32-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5400" title="32" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/32-400x300.jpg" alt="32" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Guess who’s planting here with diamonds flashing like <a href="http://www.pauladeen.com/" target="_blank">Paula Deen’s</a> hands in biscuit dough?</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5401" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/43-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5401" title="43" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/43-400x300.jpg" alt="43" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>If you guessed the woman wearing I heart HR you were right.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5402" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/52-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5402" title="52" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/52-400x300.jpg" alt="52" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Really want to mention one of the perennials in bloom this week, Campanula ‘Sarastro’. This bellflower with its huge bright glossy blue flowers is a stunner.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5403" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/62-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5403" title="62" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/62-400x300.jpg" alt="62" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>They are a bit rambunctious but not dangerous. They would make excellent cut flowers too.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5404" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/71-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5404" title="71" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/71-400x300.jpg" alt="71" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>‘Sarastro’ is pushing two feet tall and easily that wide. So far it has stayed pretty upright despite the rains and such large flowers in such great numbers. A fussy gardener would definitely do some staking.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5405" href="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/05/29/everybody-everybody/81-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5405" title="81" src="http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/81-400x300.jpg" alt="81" width="400" height="300" /></a><br />
It’s been a very busy couple weeks and plenty more to do so I’m cutting this blog a bit shorter than normal.</p>
<p>Oops! I forgot to tell you. We get our honey bees Monday.</p>
