Adopt an Ocotillo
EE Gardeners have purchased 10 ocotillos for a very good
price and have identified spots for 4 of them. If you
would like one of the remaining 6 to be planted in a
common area near you, contact Jim Copeland at
jlbrcopeland@aol.com. If more than 6 people
reply, there will be a drawing to determine the
winnners. You must confirm with your neighbors that it
won't block their view, and you must be willing to water
the plants for 2 months after planting. Planting will
take place in the beginning of March. Contact Jim with
questions.
