 Jake hauls fallen logs for decomposition in the forest, while Bill and Bill prepare the slope for the new azalea planting.

With most of the clearing done, Azalea slope is ready for planting (November 16 and 26, 2004.)

(By the end of 2004, the azalea planting and mulching was completed, a memorial bench was installed, and Bob Nelson made labels for 300 rhododendrons throughout the garden. Tom Worth made a generous contribution to the garden in memory of his wife Bernice.)
