We have done the hardest part of installing the gravel and stone dust base- all you have to do is place the stones. We will work on this during the Thursday workdays, and can also train you so you can come at your convenience on evenings/weekends.
The goal is to finish this project by Oct 31 so we can use this space for our outdoor classes during the winter months! Please contact Jordan Diamond, garden coordinator, for info- [email protected]
