The Garland County Library’s new garden and outdoor programming area is taking shape and everyone can watch it from the ground up on YouTube! Visit www.youtube.com/GarlandCoLibrary and click on the “Garden Drone Footage” playlist.
Design and Facilities Manager Butch Smith is capturing progress drone footage a few times a week. “We started capturing this footage to create timelapse videos showing the garden from beginning to end, but posting these short clips is a way to keep the community engaged and excited about the garden project,” said Erin Baber.
Lead on this project, Butch Smith, now maintains an almost weekly blog that can be found at www.gclibrary.com/grows.
Here are a few highlights from his most recent blog:
- After over a year of planning, heavy equipment is on the move and making great progress.
- McHenry Excavation has been doing a great job stripping the acre of old asphalt off and whipping that old lot into shape.
- Stormwater systems are going in now, despite the on-and-off bad weather.
- We are still on schedule, but there’s still much more to plan and do.
- Check out sponsorship opportunities, as they’re going fast.
- And if you’re looking for a lasting gift, be sure to check out our monogrammed paver bricks.
Stay tuned for more garden announcements and maybe even some bigger announcements coming soon!
