Yesterday’s rain created a large puddle in the orchard. Some ducks decided it would make a nice pond.
The School Year Ambassadors have an important mission to fill... “To protect and preserve cultural and natural resources for this generation and for future generations.” #thisplacematters
Today we are back at Minute Man National Park finishing up an orchard project we started back in the fall. Margie, Resource Manager at the park is teaching us how to construct the orchard cages and plant apple trees! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
We had a productive spring Saturday building the first raised bed for our office backyard garden space. Pretty soon we will have some soil in and plants growing! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #raisedgardenbeds
