So, we need all the help we can get. Any amount of help is appreciated. Advice, knowledge, time/assistance, garden tools, large garden rocks, or more. You may have ideas that we have not even considered. If you would like to be involved, please reach out to Mrs. Zeigler (zeigler_jennifer@hcde.org). Thanks in advance.
