Our group was given the opportunity to replace the agapanthus which filled the two planting beds in the back of the PCC, where we usually hold our meetings (and where our chapter's office is located). In our September meeting, we created the plan to replace the existing agapanthus with California native plants. Below are photos of the area as it looked before. Planting was completed on Saturday, December 4, 2004 -- click this link to see pictures of the results: PCC Planting Pictures
