Earlier this year I went to the local school to help dig over the Memorial Garden...you may remember these photos............................
well yesterday the "much more fun" job of planting and spreading the chip bark had to be done. 
there were far more willing victims volunteers this time and it only took a couple of hours
to transform it to this...........................
Won't the children be surprised when they go to school on Monday!!!!!

I can imagine their little faces, full of wonder at what is there before them. Even if just one finds the inspiration to learn more of plants and gardening it's a job well done.
That looks great. It's wonderrful to nurture a garden of your own, but to be able to give gardens to other people is really special.
Oh, they gonna LOVE it!!!! It really is a very big improvement to the better. Remarkable how much it can do :-)
Wow -- they'll be so excited! What a terrific project. Happy GTS!
Ya'll did a great job! The kids should really enjoy that.
Wow thats nice garden in there. Nice shot. mine is up here in http://mommygen.blogspot.com and http://happymomiam.blogspot.com thanks.
How lovely. I can just imagine their faces - they'll think the faries have been at work!
good job! it must have been fun, working in a team and producing something worthwhile at the end is so satisfying! Bet a good hot bath was in order when you got home!
What a great job. It looks very nice.
That's fantastic Ruth! well done :)
What a great project! I hope you'll show pics as it matures. What fun the kids will have watching everything grow!
Do you know at first I thought they were making a gymkhana! I once got chucked of a horse onto chip bark... it's very springy!!
That looks like a full day's work for a lot of people! School gardens are a wonderful learning tool and sometimes the start of a lifelong love of plants. Now that's a worthwhile cause! Happy GTS,
