Herb Garden
Eagle Scout Leadership Project
Dylan Crow, a Life Scout
from Troop 186 (Lenexa
United Methodist Church in
Lenexa, KS) will be performing
some renovation work to
the Legler Barn Herb Garden
as part of his Eagle Scout
Leadership Service Project.
In his project write-up
(presented and approved by
the LHS Board of Directors,
LHS President, Dylan’s
Troop, and the Boy Scouts of
America, Trails West District
Eagle Committee) Dylan outlines
several goals of the
project:
Item 1—Existing Benches:
There are currently two concrete
benches that have
sunk into the ground and are
in need of repair. Dylan’s
goal is to place a slab under
the benches to stabilize
them and replace them if
they are found to be damaged
Item 2–Trellis/Pergola: The
existing trellis is missing
some parts and the wood is
splintering and not pleasant
to sit on, nor is the structure
stable. Dylan’s goal is to build a new pergola and
replace the wooden benches
with concrete benches, thus
improving the structure, its
usability, and the overall appearance.
Item 3—Garden Appearance:
The final item within Dylan’s
project involves working with
the current volunteers who
maintain the garden to acceptably
remove the weeds
around the brick pathways
within the garden.
The trellis and possibly the
|
benches in Herb Garden
were constructed in 1994 and through Dylan’s Eagle
Scout Leadership Service
Project, he hopes to restore
these items to their original
glory and usefulness.
Dylan hopes to carry out his
project over the next several
months and into the spring,
hopefully completing the
work in time for next year’s
BBQ and Spinach Festivals.
Also, as part of Dylan’s project,
he will be conducting a
car wash and collecting donations
to cover the costs of
the project, expected to run
around $800.
