Its Safe To Dig!

We’re making progress in getting our Eco Art Garden up and running! As part of our Phase One plans, we’re getting ready to install a utility shed, plant native flowers, herbs, and pollinator gardens, and lay down mulch paths. Before we can start digging, we called 811/1-800-DIG-RITE to have all the utilities marked. We’re happy to report that AT&T, Spire, KC Water, Sewer, Traffic and Street have all given us the “Clear/No Conflict” status, so we’re good to go!

To clear space for our new plantings, we’ll need to dig out the roots of more established bushes like honeysuckle and winter creeper. Documenting each step and doing our due diligence is an integral part of our project, and now that we know where all the underground utilities are located, we’re one step closer to creating a beautiful, sustainable, creative, garden space.
