New Planter Bed and Retaining Wall

A Men's small group at church asked if there were any small projects they could do for us at Farm Drive. Gary and Patty had been talking about doing a planter bed so the kids can learn how to grow vegetables and flowers. Next to where they wanted a planter bed, there is a tree they thought would be a perfect place for a nice bench. The guys came last Saturday with materials and plenty of workers. They enlisted some of their sons to help. Below is the early stages of digging in the hard ground and moving the soil.

The finished project!

They even put a bench on this area for more people to sit on the edge!

Our new raised planter bed. I brought home some soil mix and so we are ready to have some kids plant some vegetables next week!


Below is some of the team. A few left before I could take a picture of them. Below is Colin, Conner, Tony, and Brad. The rest of team was Matthew, Mike and Steve. Thanks guys!
