Day 10

Exhausted!
Mid-morning Gerard stopped by with the garden director, Chantal, and he suggested we add wood edging around the perimeter, next to the base of the hedges. This was not something we had intended to do, but it will look nice once complete, and it will keep gravel and debris from rolling onto the quilt. This design change meant that I had to extend the quilt outwards on two of the sides, making it snug up to the hedge line. Tom shifted gears to help Rod and Katie with the ramp, so Natalie and I spent the afternoon on the ground. We had to replace several of the perimeter squares, which meant adding more scree and ripping up some of the squares that were set yesterday. The berm crew worked hard to add the ramp and the sides. The ramp has been turfed and the sides are ready to be turfed first thing tomorrow. We got a lot accomplished today, go team! Only two more days to go...
