This spring, staff members at our Kidron store undertook the transformation of the formergrill and patio area into a green, inviting, interactive heirloom vegetable garden. This project took many brains, hands and strong backs, not to mention months of planning and prep work before the actual planting got underway. Why go to all the trouble? Here’s why!
