Making progress!!!

We finally have a plan! We have been working hard to figure out just exactly how we will make this unused space a place for play, discovery, reflection and beauty. Low and behold our plan. Not only do we have this plan, but we are making headway on it! Last weekend the Montclair Dad's Club came and worked hard to help dig irrigation trenches (HARD WORK), place the tables, and refine our garden entrance. We are making friends with our neighbors and making sure our new space will not affect them. Next up, we will build two more planter boxes, plant a vines and lattice for a privacy screen for our neighbors, secure the picnic tables and secure 20-25 stumps for our outdoor seating areas. If you have friends or neighbors or members of your community that have access to good tree stumps (about 18 " diameter) please bring them to our new space (the area north of the Ottertorium).

Another garden work day is coming soon...we are hoping to have the space usable for the spring, when our outdoor space becomes limited because of the construction. Which means we have a good amount of work to do... we'll make it fun though! come join us! We'll be reaching out soon.

For now we are calling this space the Garden Annex...
