thanks for all of your help!!!

we are so fortunate that volunteers have been making time to help us with the demo garden.
compared to last year, we have so much more finished or almost finished for the homeowners field day.  the garden looks wonderful and we owe everyone who has been coming out a huge round of applause!!! 

david and darry hard at work on the green roof structures

the structures are ready to be stained and the plants installed

we've added sod, mulch and a few berms to the stream bed.

we've had some unwelcome visitors to the garden, hibiscus saw flies and their larvae

the damage that the larvae do is amazing.

the larvae in the top photo and the adult sawfly in the bottom.

Nancy hard at work installing the last of the liriope under the trees.



so far, we have added creeping jenny to one of the berms by the stream bed.  



some of the many beds we tend to in the demo garden.  on the top , an enabling garden which is ideal for handicapped people or those who cannot stand or kneel.  in the middle, the shade garden and the new herb bed on the bottom.




one of our new foxy little friends.  possibly a vixen and a kit are living down in the old mulch pile.  we watched this one wander around the burrow.
