A Stylish Way to Tell the Story

A beauty - made with cedar no less!

This post is embarrassingly overdue, but we’ll stick with the old adage “better late than never.”

Last summer, it became apparent that we needed to get some sort of a sign at the London Ferrell Community Garden to not only explain the space to curious passerbies but also to communicate with the individual gardeners. It was with great happiness that we stumbled upon the elegant kiosk at the Woodland Community Garden, and we were even happier to discover that the maker was none other than a neighbor.

With very little arm twisting, Greg was kind enough to offer to make a similar one for the London Ferrell Community Garden. And he didn’t take a dime for all his hard work!

Never mind that Greg was anxious to put up the sign back in winter where he had to remove his gloves to mix the concrete to stabilize it. And never mind that it took us months to properly fill it with necessary information, all carefully tucked behind plexiglass front to shield it from the elements.

Despite our horrendous negligence, we still wanted to take an opportunity to thank Greg for his kindness and craftsmanship. Next time you’re at the garden, take a moment to appreciate the lovely, handmade kiosk! And don’t forget to check out the information posted on it too!
