Dear Readers,
Memorial Day was a perfect day for the gallery dig where over 30 people came together to help me put earth back on the gallery.
I rented a Bobcat that Jenna Halloran, Jon Soghomonian, Eliot Wells and Ollie Solmitz operated. Here I am trying to operate a wheel barrow.
Michelle De Lash cooked for the whole gang with the help of Scott Novatny, Margie Wallace and Elizabeth Kuechenmeister . Some of the people in this photo are Jenna, Michelle, Jamie Lombardo, Judith Partelow, Zach, Cheryl and Jon Soghomonian,Joe Halloran, Margot Fitsch,
In the background is Michael Bobrowski with the wheelbarrow. Melissa Sullivan with the cap, Eliot on the left, Jenna would fill the truck using the bobcat with the earth in the driveway, drive it near the roof and those who could would drag the tarp filled with earth onto the roof.
Some of the helpers at the end of the day, Meghan Perry, and on the bottom right and Kaitlyn Sarazin on the bottom left. Chris Powicki has the white t-shirt on the right.

Now you can see where I landed when I tried wheeling the wheelbarrow.
I would like to get photos from Cape Cod Times (May 29th ) showing Joel Connelly, age 80 digging in his barefeet.
Some other people who helped are my son, Jonathan Kelly, Bill Barnstead, Tony Fitsch, John Lipman and Arena
This is a really great project! I think that growing a garden on the roof is ingenious. You have a great team of people right there. The final result looks amazing!

I agree with Eugene. The concept of growing a garden on top of a roof is really extraordinary, but cool. I hope that more people who would adapt this project to other places.

Looks like you guys did a lot of hard work in making the garden on top of the roof. It is a very interesting project. That’s not something you see every day.
