Daniel was talking about The Chapel of Second Chances, a soon-to-be-added feature at BRING’s latest project, the Garden of Earthly Delights.

The 8,500-square-foot garden, scheduled to be done sometime next year, is being designed by Chambers Construction as an interactive outdoor learning space to teach sustainable gardening and living skills.
