Garden Frontage Gets A New Look

Garden Frontage Gets A New Look

May 12, 2017 by William Makowski 1 Comment

Mike Aube from Troop 810 in Broadview Heights took on an Eagle Scout project to create greater curb appeal for the Greene Acres Community Garden. The project began at the end of the 2016 season and the final touches were added this week. Mike started the project by talking with several garden members to get landscaping ideas and formulate a plan within a specified budget. Once the plan was approved he led a group of youth and adult volunteers from the troop to prepare the soil near the fence line, install landscaping fabric, plant bushes, and mulch with wood chips. He also directed the installation of a flagstone walkway at the gate and added rocks to the landscaping. The bushes appear to be taking well to the surroundings and the garden has received a well deserved face lift. Thank you Mike and Troop 810 for your hard work.
