Today we finished pulling the last of the Visitor’s Center flower beds. We tore out all of the beautiful flowers and plants and once again took them to the compost pile. But never fear, next summer they will all be back and as beautiful as ever. However, next spring, these flower beds will be alive with color. We well be planting tulip bulbs soon in Nauvoo and Carthage.

Richard told me today that the mission’s tulip bulb order has been shipped. Twenty four thousand tulip bulbs are enroute from Holland. Next spring all of the flower beds in Old Nauvoo will be filled with beautiful tulips in bloom.

 

Sis. Johnson and I will still have a lot of work left to do in all of the flowerbeds in Old Nauvoo. Even though we’ve pulled all of the annual flowers, most of the flowerbeds also have perennials like bushes, hardwoods, vines, etc.  So the flowerbeds will still require care, upkeep and cleaning. There won’t be any shortage of work for us to do.
