Armed only with shovels, rakes and spades, they clearly underestimated the job before them. But they were game for it. The blisters and sweat had only just started to emerge when they heard the rumble of a motor.

Phil was a member of the Angie's List campus neighborhood before Angie's List had leased its first office space, but few of the Angie’s List staff had met him. So to the garden crew, he was just a neighborhood guy who could be planning to do a little landscaping work on his own property. Or, as they all silently hoped, he wasn’t heading anywhere but their little plot of land.  

He didn’t disappoint. In less than an hour, he'd spread the dirt and asked when more was coming so he could be prepared for round two. (And yes, there will be a round two. As big as the mountain of dirt seemed, it covered only part of the garden area...)

The Garden Clubbers who were there this weekend are sure they'd still be out there pushing dirt had it not been for Phil and his John Deere. Phil is their new best friend and most popular neighbor!
