Thanks to Ike & Chris & Iggy!

At Pacific’s recent monthly workday, we covered the kiosk with flowers (wheat-pasted ones!) Hoping to do more projects here soon…thanks to our young helpers!
We also got 4 truckloads of wood chips from Greenwood Cemetery to spread on our paths–thanks to Gary and his truck and all of our hard-working shovelers! The garden’s looking great.
