Demonstration Garden- Experimental Farm

Gillian BoydJim & Denise Davidson

Rita PatersonLloyd StrachanDavid Harper

Hi Lloyd Everything is perfect, Denise and Iwent by in darkness, but we sat on themand touched them and admired them. Very impressive. I love the wood andthe attention to detail, I think they are amazingly strong and I was almostthinking fancier than church pews. I hope you sleep well and David shouldbe tired too,I hope the digging wasn't too arduous, your muscles will tell you tomorrow guys. Please give my best to David and everyone else involved in the project, it makes for a significant “tour de force”. We shall work all the more enthusiastically as our guests come flocking over to the nearest benches in the line of sight when people arrive for a flower tour, be thatat the COG beds (yes people... do that) or go to the upper beds (yes people ... do that... do both, Denise and I sneak up there too sometimes).

In summary, I think its great. Placed exactly where they should be, noquestion - looking great, and solid - so whole families can sit and enjoy.I am a happy camper, call it a birthday present for my Dad who just turned88 today. (And no, I won't be painting piano keyboards on any of thebenches).
