The Ojai Garden

A charming new sign in the City of Ojai Community Demonstration Garden may have a small footprint, but it took the combined effort of 4 people to bring the concept to finished product. The design by the garden's coordinator was turned over to Matilija Junior High shop teacher Lee Burns, who found a talented student volunteer, Max Metlen, to make the wooden sign and carve and paint the letters. Then garden volunteer and skilled woodworker Ted Precht stepped in to put a protective coating over the wood and mount the sign to a post. Thanks everyone! Photo by Les Dublin.
