Dedication at Page Commons

 

The dedication of the restored planter boxes and garden

mural took place early this morning.  Here are a few photos of the

Gilbert Leadership Class XXII and the residents of Page Commons

enjoying refreshments after the ribbon cutting. Go to my

Gilbert Leadership Class XXII Work Day

Here are a few more of the terrific members of the

Gilbert Leadership Class XXII working on the mural.  There

were 8 members assigned to paint at a time and they pretty

well stayed with it all day. 

Here's what was going on behind the blue tarp!  Eight existing planter

boxes were equipped with an automatic watering system and then filled

with garden soil.  The members planted hundreds of vegetables and

flower plants and then brought in additional rock for the surrounding

area.  It was a day well spent and I'm sure there are some aching muscles

today!  Tomorrow my real work begins on the mural.  I'll report back

in two weeks when (hopefully) I'm finished.

Gilbert Leadership Class XXII Work Day

Seven a.m. Saturday morning, I'm set up and ready to go.  The leadership class

 had a perfect day to work on the mural and to fill the planters with

vegetables and flowers.

 

Here are a few of the Gilbert Leadership Class XXII working on the

Mural.  A tarp separated the painting area from the garden area

to prevent dust and garden soil from landing on our painting surface.
