    The Skyview Garden is in need of "sprucing up." There are 19 wooden frames on the raised beds that have disintegrated over the years. We would like to replace them with concrete panels.
     Even though it may have been sitting in your yard or garage for a long time... not being used... please consider donating your concrete mixer. As a student project they will mix concrete, pour it into forms and make concrete panels to replace the wooden frames.
     Please call Mike Walz at 406 672 4959 with any questions.

     Also, thank you Cindy Bergum for graciously keeping up the Skyview garden during the summer months!
