BMGA & Boy Scouts Work Together on Garden Restoration

July 26, 2018 by bluebonnet

Bluebonnet Master Gardeners Renee’ Kofman, Mikie Ehret, Jeri  Berckenhoff, Pete Berckenhoff and Diva Garza Houlette, in a joint effort with Boy Scout Troup 548 headed by Clayton Ribardo,  restored the Prayer Garden at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church (ICC) in Sealy.  BMGA contributed funds for the new annual plants and shrubs and BMGA directed the project, including planting all the plants. An irrigation system was installed by Logiscapes, LLC.  Seventeen-year-old Scout Clayton Ribardo jumped at the opportunity to lead the Scouts in this project and thus worked to earn his Eagle Scout Badge. Clayton, along with the eight other Scouts, raised funds for the materials, worked on replacing the old walkway of the garden with crushed granite, added new borders, new soil, mulch and sod in the garden.  BMGA Project Leader Renee Kofman said “The BMGA Master Gardener’s thoroughly enjoyed working with the Scouts on this project.  It was a lot of hard work for everyone and a labor of love, all for the glory of God.”  The Prayer Garden is located at 500 4th Street in Sealy and is open to the public for prayer and meditation
