Here are pics of the raised bed garden that the children will be planting next week and looking after for the summer.
There are buds on those potato plants!
The lumber was donated by Curtis Lumber, some of the soil was donated by Mandy Springs, more soil was donated by various other people, the labor was donated by Mary Frances and Robyn.
