Our Biggest Spring Surprise? The Cottage and Secret Gardens are now Wheelchair- and Walker-Accessible! Big Thanks to Karl’s weekends and week nights labor, Thursday morning volunteers labor, and 2021 financial donors funding all of the bricks!

These two garden projects are continuing towards a finished phase, which will include additional bricks laid at the Secret Garden Well area, machine compacting, and joint glue-sand application.
