Fly Like an Eagle

Everyone can breathe a big sigh of relief. Noah's Eagle project is done!

 

Noah's project was in the garden at a dementia ward where Grandpa lives. Grandpa isn't in the dementia ward, but he was able to come and watch the all the excitement. Noah re-potted 7 flower pots, rebuilt a flower garden, built a raised vegetable garden, pruned roses and trees, and moved a pile of scrap wood. The actual work day only lasted 2 1/2 hours due to Noah's impeccable planning and preparation. 

There were ant nests in all the pots. Everyone got bit.

Lots of flowers for the pots and gardens.

Grandpa cheers us on and visits with one of the residents who loves to garden and now she has a place to garden.

 Ike, Kelly, Peter rebuild a neglected corner garden and fill it with petunias and marigolds.

 Sweet little old ladies planted the tray garden. One of them kept planting the flowers without taking them out of the pots.

 Ike and Logan plant corn, cabbage, tomatoes and squash under experienced guidance.

 Our Bishop, Scout Master Jerry and Noah.
A big THANK YOU to all those who showed up and helped!

Good Job Noah!
