Time to Plant the Garden

The sun is shining bright, the spring flowers are blooming, the birds are singing and its time to plant the 2012 Wonder Works' Organic Garden. Everyone is welcome to help with digging, planting and watering the new planting. There is no official layout to the garden, so you can help decide which plants will go were and if you have a favorite plant you want to see in the garden, bring the seeds or seedlings with and we will find the room. Please call us at 708.383.4815 if you have any questions.
