Progress in Planting

With 3 more trucks of plant material on their way to Pittsburgh it was time to make our presence known with the construction crews. Beds had to be cleared and soil brought in...and plants unloaded into the space. The truck with the 10 palm trees for Palm Circle took an entire day to unload. Since they are cold sensitive palms, the truck had to back up to the new conservatory and the palms brought immediately inside. Here are some planting progress photos from the past week.

The canopy walk area is filling in, the facade to cover it will soon be installed and a mangrove has been added to the fish pool.

I was go to Thailand last year: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son and Phi Phi islands. Thailand is a great country, with a big culture and majestuosity.

Best regards from Barcelona, Spain.
