Linden Garden Almost Complete












Linden had some garden installation last week. Things are looking good over there although those darn bunny rabbits are going to make some trouble come Spring. The garden is 80 square feet and runs 4 feet wide and 20 feet long. The kids seemed to enjoy the new activity center. Thank you to everyone who helped make the installation such a success especially the facilities crew.

Volunteer times: Want to do some dirty work next week? Check the post for updates but it looks like Thursday and Friday might be some light work days. Filling some soil and covering with straw.

Enjoy the pics once they upload...the blogger has been slow recently.

Garden Installation Completed at Silverton






WHOOPPEEE!
Thanks to all the help from Mark and Silverton Center for making the garden installation such a success. Jeremy busted up 100sq feet of sod last week and filled up the gardens with rich soils. They are looking great but boy oh boy do I wish they were filled up with plants. We need to start training some volunteers who are willing to do some work for the whole year. Please sign up for some volunteer times if you are willing. I have included some photos too.
