Garden Diggers

>Summer Spree campers were hard at work today clearing the path, turning soil for the hummingbird garden, and making sunflower seed bird feeders to attract more wildlife to the secret garden. Nancy explained that the presence of birds indicates a healthy garden since they aid in pollinating plants, as well as keep harmful pests to a minimum, thus creating a sense of balance.
