“Girl Power” sets precedent as these young students tackle the task of putting a fresh layer of heavy mulch on 20+ fruit trees in our orchard –an important seasonal preparation step to retain moisture before the heat of summer takes hold!Determined not to turn away from a little hard work – these young ladies got the job done!
As a former Girl Scout it was my pleasure to provide an educational experience that earned these young Scouts their Gardening Badge!
Each assigned a small bed as their work space to effectively navigate the “Gardening 101” experience: cleaning and weeding, tilling the soil, selecting seasonal seeds and proper planting and tagging techniques! We look forward to our seeing these Girl Scouts again this Summer for a follow-up lesson and to turn our attention to “Garden Art & Beautification!”
