On February 27, 2022 Elizabeth completed her Eagle Project which consisted of building raised planting beds for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. Elizabeth completed her Eagle Board of Review on September 14, 2022 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
“For my project I will be installing new raised beds in the Blue Garden at the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. This will involve: removing trellises from the existing garden, constructing and installing raised planter beds and filling them with dirt, adding bed signs, relocating several barrels containing apple trees, removing 3 inches of dirt from the paths, adding cardboard to the paths and covering the paths with mulch. My project will be helpful because raised beds increase the yield of a garden. The clear demarkation of beds will also make it easier for individuals to identify and tend to the plants. ” – Elizabeth G.
