Photos from the Garden Sign Making Event

This past Saturday, Nov 9th, Power in Dirt held a free Garden Sign Making Event at the Poppleton Children's & Community Garden. The weather was amazing, as were the signs created. We had about 40 people come out to support the event and 40 new garden signs were made. 

We hope everyone had a wonderful time and Power in Dirt hopes to have the event again soon!
