Recently, a local Boy Scout troop volunteered to make stand-up garden boxes at Avalon by Otterbein at Monclova. Resident Ellen Kale, an avid gardener, is shown here with hers. Ellen has 10 children, drove a school bus and had her own green house. She goes out several times a day trimming, watering and pruning her plants.
The building of the boxes was one of the scout's projects toward becoming an Eagle Scout.
