Epiphany Center
Hughes & Co. team members worked at Epiphany Center to replace the tiered garden beds with brand new supplies. This space is utilized by clients year-round for gardening and the deterioration of the tiered beds had limited this activity.
We were happy to contribute to the garden and give it some love!
