Installing Irrigation System
in Butterfly Meadow |
 |
My project consisted of digging trenches around the butterfly garden to lay down a sprinkler system to provide effective and efficient irrigation to the butterfly garden. To do so, I had to dig the trenches, lay down the pipe system, and fix sprinklers to key locations
My projected was daunting and laborious, however, we completed ahead of schedule thanks to the spectacular help I received from my wonderful team of volunteers.
