The Raised Beds are Coming Together!

Working hard to build the raised beds!

Thank you to all the volunteers that came out to help support the new student garden by building the raised beds! There were about 12 or so people at the event. The hotdogs and pop seemed to keep everyone going as we put together the raised beds. While we did not finish all of them we made a great start and should be able to finish next week.
