Here is a bird’s eye view of the community garden being built at Hopper Academy, organized by the Sanford Cultural Guild. The cloth is the walkways. We need to finish the water lines (thank you H&S Mechanical) and put in the blocks to define the beds (thank you Lowe’s). When done it will have 18 garden beds with room for six more.

We’re working on the next step of the garden - 34 fence posts.
