We were grateful for the volunteer help from WMU's Sigma Alpha Epsilon to spring clean Five Senses Garden. In addition to raking, picking up sticks, and doing some heavy lifting of filled tarps, they removed a big section of grasses to make room for new fencing. Lots of hard work by the team of guys and 5SG board members. Thank you!
