The team spread topsoil and planted sword ferns and rhododendrons. At a later date there will be the addition of flowers for the Peruvian celebration in June. The next stage of planting will take place in the fall. Thank you to all who came out to work and thank you to the citizens of Lake Forest Park who generously donated the ferns. The project is ongoing and we hope people will come by to see it.
