Educational Garden Sign Installation

After about 1 1/2 years of planning, design, edits, several lay-outs, and plenty of delays, we finally were able to install a "Native Gardening" sign in my college's Educational Garden. The Ed. Garden project has been underway for several years and was initiated by the Biology Department and Cornell Cooperative Extension's Master Gardeners.
