Another Victory Garden Update

Harrison Wilson June 29th, 2009

If you haven’t been out to see the progress of the victory garden, make sure you set aside some time to do so. The plants are pretty much exploding in terms of their growth. There is also a nice sign marking the area.

Congratulations on all the progress thus far to those maintaining and working on the garden!
