Here is a picture of our quad area. We had LACC work on the dirt.
We added soil, fertilizer, and spent a lot of time preparing the areas
for cultivation. LACC and H.V.'s class helped us with planting the grass.
It was a tremendous amount of work! But, look at our results!
The birdbath was very generously donated by V.H., our garden organizer,
who was instrumental in implementation of the Butterflies In the City project!
Here are some of our planter boxes in progress. We had LACC assemble
them for our playground, and out butterfly habitat areas.
