We had a very busy summer! In late July our volunteers returned to tend the new meadow at Plymouth Meeting Friends School, and we threw four Not-a-Lawn Parties in July & August in North Wales, East Norriton, and Lower Gwynedd. Four yard owners with gardens designed and installed by Journeywork welcomed visitors to check out how things were growing, ask questions, and sip lemonade; our founder Paige Menton was on hand to share information about the process, the prep, and the plants.
