Preparing and Constructing the Beds
4/28/15
We obtained approval to put the beds in back of the Hummingbird Garden in the Compost Area. During the winter, the tall grasses occupying the space were dug up and moved to other areas and the compost started. In April we began screening soil from the Master Gardener topsoil pile and bringing it over to the site.

Three 2” x 12” redwood boards were purchased, cut and assembled into two identical 4’ x 6’ raised beds. The beds were filled with topsoil from the Discovery Garden’s pile.
