Herb-tastic makeover by Scouts BSA

Reid and his fellow scouts from Troop 750 rebuilt the YWCA’s raised beds for Reid’s Eagle Scout project. They turned the space into a productive area for planting herbs and vegetables. Reid’s dedication has improved our community garden, making it a welcoming place for everyone. Let’s cheer for his great community effort!

The YWCA received a donation from the EquiCenter for our raised beds. Thank you for making our agency an engaging and educational experience for the residents.

A special shoutout to EquiCenter for not only assisting with the raised bed project but also for their generosity in donating fresh veggies every Thursday through their Horticulture Program for our residents to enjoy. Their collaboration has been bountiful since the summer of 2023. What an engaging, hands-on program for our community to learn about farming and the growing world around us!

Update: July 26, 2024 (Pictures below show the progress our gardens have made since the new beds were built.)
