Haven House Garden March Update Part 1

Saturday March 6th we had a great group of Stanford Students come out to the the garden to help pull weeds and do some general clean up. A big Thank you to Kiana for organizing her friends to spend the morning with us.

Looking Good....



Photos below: A team of three went through the big pile of pavers to see if any of them were usable.



After all that work they found three of four usable pavers. The rest were broken. I must say the area looks much better. The photo below is the before...



Here is the after... Nice job!

So these ladies got in touch with their inner Martha Stewart!



Looks wonderful. Thank you!

  2. Thanks EG. It's been slow going. You know me, once I get a project in my head I go full out until it's done. Well if nothing else, we get the hardscapes done this year along with some planting and be ready next season for a bigger planting season. This year will also give me the knowledge I need to work with a all volunteer garden staff and how to schedule around that.
