Making Decorative Bricks for
you Garden
Danna Walter and Lottie Smith
March 9th 2006
We met at Linda's lovely house for the first meeting of the 2006 gardening season. Lottie and Danna showed us how to make decorative garden bricks from dyed cement and forms. Half of the members worked garden puzzles while the remaining half constructed garden bricks. We swapped activities later. Linda provided some fresh fruit, melons and her famous water with citrus slices.
