A huge thanks to the 13 Master Gardeners and a special young lady, who worked to spread mulch, plant, prune, etc.
If you have time and can help with maintenance of this WONDERFUL Fredericksburg resource, ​
                                      contact Skip Gee at  rpgeejr@yahoo.com or (540) 604-7133.
Cossey Park needs it’s pathways re-mulched.  The city will be delivering the mulch, and on August 9, we have a front loader and operator to help move it throughout the park.  We need as many folks as possible to help spread the mulch!
