Sun Apple Sculpture Installed and Landscaping Completed

Although it hasn't been officially unveiled yet, the Sun Apple is finished, painted and installed in Firth Park. The guys from Grassroot Garden have been working hard for a couple of weeks to get the landscaping done around it. We got some help from local kids to plant the new Lavender bed that is replacing the old, neglected Rose bushes that were there before. Thanks guys! We'll be keeping it under wraps until Friday afternoon...

The workshop was devised to reflect the unique views created by the hilly topography that can be enjoyed around the area and the fact that raising your eyes to the rooftops is proven to raise people's spirits
