Weeks of work on Saturday mornings is paying off as the Plant It Forward training farm takes shape. The farm is on target to meet its September 15 completion date just in time for a Fall planting. As of this newsletter, twenty of the thirty-two beds are complete. Thanks to the many volunteers who have come out to help. Visit Plant if Forward Facebook page for more pictures.
