Landscaping the Hub

by Four Door Arts Forum on July 2, 2014March 25, 2017

Over the past few weeks artisans laboured to change the surroundings of the building (H.U.B.) that houses the Four Door Arts Forum. They planted a vegetable garden, fruit trees, lilac bushes, cedars, various plants and flowers on the 3.3 acre grounds.
