Carter Maass is working on his Eagle scout project by building our raised bed frames. This year we are wanting to to build 6, 4'x12' beds to start our garden
My Project: 
Horticulture is a college NOW class, students get 2 hours of college credit for science. We are bridging the gap between the students and the community by teaching how to grow local organic fruits and vegetables and then donating them to local food banks, churches and families in need.
My Students Need: 
We need lumber to build the beds, that is treated so as not to rot. Carter and a few of the students need your help to purchase the lumber and materials to get this started
