We are moving on to our final efforts, the restoration of the quadrangle garden, the renovation of the museum to preserve priceless artifacts, and the interpretation of important archaeological destinations on the mission grounds. The work has started in the garden which includes repairing and restoring the fountain, installing new lighting for more safety for overnight guests, planting low maintenance drought-tolerant plants and preserving our famous roses.
