We were gone from our blog for a while, but we're back and ready to tell you about a BIG project we worked on this fall.  We promise we will be around more, now that we are preparing the Mason Crest Garden for the spring planting.  

Back in November, with the help of a lot of big-hearted people, we were able to transform a boring patch of grass into a flower garden!  It took A LOT of hard work and a good amount of money, but we made it happen.  We are really looking forward to the spring when everything wakes up and starts to bloom.  

Here is the BEFORE picture.  See?!  Just boring grass.

Next, we started digging up the grass.

Very hard work!

After all of the grass was up a dump truck delivered fresh, fertile soil.

Then, we had to spread all of the new soil.
Picture
We used machines called "tillers" to mix the hard, clay ground with the new soil. This will help plants grow roots easier.

A wooden border was made to help keep dirt in the garden and people out of the garden.

The AFTER picture!
