Serenity Garden Work Begins!

We are hoping to have all the benches and tables delivered to us so that we can install them on May 9th.

We will also be digging out the footpaths and walkway, along with a hole for the Christmas tree.

Everyone is invited to help. Just bring shovels, gloves to protect your hands, hoses for water.

We have two more scheduled work days on the 16th and 23rd.  I am hoping to have the plants by the 23rd so they can be put in.

Engraved bricks will have to wait until after the cement pad is poured for the gazebo before they are put in.

On the Serenity Gardens Project, BRICK SALES ARE OVER!

Thanks for all the support.
