Landscaping at Milford Lake

Story by Park Ranger Cynthia Dierks

Don and Diane Olgivie used to work at a Japanese Nursery in Washington State before they became volunteers. With their expert knowledge in landscaping and arborist work, they renovated an area in front of a bathhouse at Milford Lake. Shrubs that were very old and overgrown were removed and Don and Diane got to plan and install a new shrub bed. There’s a gravel walkway against the bathhouse structure where visitors may check out a new bulletin board as well. In the near future, several benches will be installed nearby. Don and Diane are also pruning other trees and shrubs in the park area, giving lots of “TLC” to an area that needed it.

The cleared shrub bed. Don and Diane Olgivie remove overgrown plants and shrubs. Don and Diane Olgivie with their newly completed shrub bed.
