It was six phases, so it took us six years to complete. The plants have all done very well.
We've continued to maintain them on a weekly basis or on an as-needed basis. The irrigation,
which is actually soaker hoses, drip irrigation, has been excellent for us. We don't have to water
a lot. We water approximately 20 minutes, about two times per week. And in the summer,
we may have to increase some watering. The hardscape, we did have, of course, assistance
from the Parks and Rec Department to put a lot of it in place. But for the majority of the work
that has been done here in the garden, it has all been done with volunteer efforts
through the Master Gardener organization. And we certainly are most grateful for our partner,
Cayegas, and for the funding that they have provided to us for us to actually be able to
procure the plants and get the other items that we need to keep the garden going. If you haven't
seen it, please come and see it so that you can come and enjoy some of the beautiful plants and
things that we have created to show you things you can do in your home garden.
