Building Flower Planters
to Beautify Front
Parking Lot

Troop 153, Fremont

The goal of my project was to install six planter boxes in the front of Tule Ponds in order to beautify the area. The 50 ft by 17 ft area was cleaned, trees were trimmed, and he planter boxes installed. Many invasive species like, Coyote Brush, were cleared away so there would be more nutrients for the native plants.This project makes the entrance of Tule Ponds look more beautiful since flowers will be grown in these boxes and looking at them the children can learn more about the different plants.

Scouts are using teamwork in order to put the bolts into the post.
