Green-thumbed President Chris Adam v. an asphalt-ugly fence.
A Californian story in few shots:
1. Jumping over (assaulting) an Oleanders-carrying truck;
2. Recruiting volunteers (air-quote “volunteers”);
3. Being exemplar in working hard (ok, we’ll give him that);
4. Appointing someone trusted to check the progress (and that’s Charlie).
Our new 42 Oleanders look healthy and already started blooming.
We might have a full-green fence just in time for your visit.
