One of our new raised beds is nearly complete, and painting has begun. Not only that, we are nearly finished preparing our new wildflower plot. Our amazing team has removed the tree root and trunk from the tree that fell down a couple of years ago, along with all the concrete, a buried layer of plastic, and the bramble roots we couldn't get out before.
