New boot-scraper
One of the big favorites with kids at the Celery Farm is the boot-scraper by the Franklin Turnpike entrance.
Over the years, it has gotten so much use that its bristles were next to worthless.
Thanks to Herb and Molly Gardener, the boot-scraper is back in action with new bristles, looking spiffy.
Thanks, Herb and Molly.
