The story of the Bluffton Girl Scout garden

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 15, 2010 - 3:12pm

By Mariah Fleming, Bluffton Girl Scout Troop 8 Cadette

November 9, 2009 Girl Scout Troop 8 decided to make a garden in Woodhaven. That day they went to look at the condition of the garden and make measurements to see how much space they had to work with.

Because it was winter, the girls of Troop 8 started planning how the garden should look, and what plants they would need and want.

In March 2010 they broke ground. They moved the soil around to see how it was and what they would need to make it so they could plant. The girls ended up with 2 gardens.
