Yahoo! A new dry laid arch is born in BC. Completed by enthusiastic students of dry stone walling the day before the famous Metchosin Day Country fair (which was held Sunday September 12th, 2010) this gothic arch and garden structure is now a permanent feature of the fair grounds.
A dry stone wall and arch was constructed enclosing a Garry Oak and native flower garden. The project replaced a portion of wood fencing.
