Changes in the Courtyard

What's happening out there?

• The fountain has been removed; the fountain basin will be demolished shortly and the existing damaged brickwork in the Celtic cross replaced with new bricks.  Stop by the church office if you want to buy a memorial brick to go in this area - or several!
• The pavers have been removed from the seating area in the Memorial Garden.  Tomorrow the overgrown ficus trees will be removed and the sago palms (which are currently receiving too much sun) transplanted to the entryway to the parking lot.
• Last week many of the new plants for the courtyard and Memorial Garden were purchased at the Desert Botanical Garden's semi-annual plant sale, and more will be delivered tomorrow from Mountain States Nursery.  Planting will also begin tomorrow.

The transformation is beginning!  Here are some of the photos of work in progress.
