August Events

Karl has laid the stonedust and the brick at our 3 Bump Outs along the Orchard Ave, one of seven horticultural areas at the wheelchair-accessible MargFMac Front Garden Loop (0.1 mile). Finishing touches will include cutting the brick, and putting down a sealant, polymer sand. These rest areas give mobility and energy challenged individuals an opportunity to pull off the trail, enjoy sitting for a while, and perhaps enjoy a drink or snack they have packed. Part of the long-term vision plan for the garden, it’s a long-time realized. Thank you, Donors!
