A Special thanks to the Aaron Eagle Project ~ Raised beds at the Giving Gardens

The prepared boards - predrilled with 4x4's screwed on, they are ready for assembly.

A look at what it looks like partially planted.

We stretched the soil to fill all our beds by layering straw first, then amendments, native soil and then soil mix.

A record day for volunteers at the giving gardens there are more volunteers at the food tent and constructing the 30 wooden raised beds.
