Help an Eagle Scout with his garden project



I'd like to introduce everyone to Maxwell McWilliams, whose family gardens plot NE12. Maxwell is a local 8th grader and Boy Scout who has chosen the Wagner Farm Community Garden as the beneficiary for his Eagle Scout project.

Maxwell's project has two components:
  1. First, Maxwell is going to improve drainage at the six spigots by creating drainage wells with rocks and sand. By improving the drainage under the spigots, Maxwell will be helping to return water to the aquaphor and reducing muddy conditions.
  2. Second, Maxwell is going to plant native perennials along the fence next to the spigots. These plants will help with the drainage issue while attracing pollinators to the garden.
Maxwell is currently raising the money needed for this worthwile project. If you'd like to know more or donate, click here to see his gofundme page. Donating is optional, of course, but it's all to help the Wagner Farm Community Garden!

Thanks, Maxwell!
