2010-09-25 Zen Garden Construction

Well, it's a volunteer-heavy week. Yesterday, I worked on one charity and now on another. Today, we're creating a zen garden for an organization that the Junior League supports.


Locally, our League started a nature center back in the 60s, in order to provide education to children in schools regarding the natural environment of this area. We spun it off into its own non-profit and today it's a Nature Center and Planetarium. Occasionally, we go back and do little projects for them...the zen garden was so that the center could provide meditation classes in a natural environment.

OK, to be frank: this sh*t was HARD!

You have no idea how may tree roots had to be hacked up to create the new plantings and install the fountains. Oy! I was exhausted. Ended up coming home, showering, and taking a nap.
