In May 2009 the Kress Farm members partnered with Jefferson County Executives to put in a new garden at the county courthouse in Hillsboro. We had quite a project, but one worthy of our effort owing to the fact that there were Veteran's Memorials that were unkempt. The project took several site visits and a several days of prepping the ground. We used the "Lasagna Gardening" book as a guide and therefore, this alleviated the need for tilling and heavy digging. With help from several of our volunteers, you can see the before pictures and after--we feel this was a very worthwhile project many years to come!
