Water catchment container at community garden in Olds. That morning some of us placed and screwed together the wooden beams for a base for the tank, under Barb’s leadership. Mel joked her satisficing design style as “PCD,” pretty crappy design, however in the end we got it done in the time allotted and you could really ask for anything more functional.
They are harvesting the water from this very large roof. The community garden is a partnership between the town and Old’s College. Barb is the consultant and prime mover.

Leaving the community garden site, task accomplished. It was important to bring the drill back to the classroom site as it was needed for the greenhouse project.

This but is a pollinator too, but being wingless will not be getting around very much compared to our honeybee benefactors.
