After ten weeks of research, constructing, and planting, this is the final sensory garden (left). We were not able to construct the second (desert variety) garden before Earth Day, but the EEC plans to do that later on. The grand opening was so much fun, and the community loved it. A lot of people came by to take pictures ask about the future of the overall demonstration garden.The mayor of Chandler, Jay Tibshraeny, came by for the ribbon cutting at 9:30 along with council members Sam Huang and René Lopez. My friends Jessica and Pauline also came out to support me, and we had a lot of fun enjoying all the Earth Day activities. We even pulled some money together and donated to the Weeders Garden Club's pollinator garden that will hopefully be built by next year at Tumbleweed Park.
Jessica and Pauline were especially excited to meet Sam Huang. Jessica was proud that she voted for him last year, and Pauline let him know that her mom voted for him as well.
