Caretakers House & Gardens at Fairhaven Park at Fairhaven Park

January 22, 2011 from 10am to 2pm
We are in the home stretch of building a deer fence to protect the future teaching gardens at the Caretakers House in Fairhaven Park.   Now that the fence posts are up we will be assembling panels to fit on the posts.  Most millwork is done, we just need to install pieces.  We'll be working Saturdays from 10am-2pm until we finish, probably into February.  We'll provide tools.  You just need to dress warm and bring gloves if you have them.
