This is a quick post. I want to update you on the latest regarding CPK and the garden, as I have friends sharing it on Facebook – with links to this blog! I promise to give more details and post pictures very soon!
Yesterday, despite the rain, we had the dedication ceremony for the new garden at Liberty Middle School. It was a rainy Earth Day, but it all worked out.
