WHO SAID YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN AT WORK?
WELCOME TO THE IMAGE GALLERY
We are in the construction phase of this project when we are turning soil, marking the garden, building fencing, and setting up our indoor nursery. As time progresses, this section will be home to all of the pictures we take along the way. Most importantly, we'll keep pictures of people enjoying the garden and of the food being produced. You can see images of your sponsored beds here or of your time volunteering with us, if you choose. This is a place where we can have fun and celebration our work and success!
