Last night's meeting

Last night's meeting took place at town hall despite the stormy conditions. We firmed up installation and planting dates, discussed our goals and objectives and made plans on how to achieve them.

After the meeting, several committee members checked out the garden location. Some grading will need to be done. We plan to set the straw bales out on March 27.
