Civic-minded teens build raised bed for disabled
THE LEOS YOUTH club recently built and installed a half-dozen raised garden beds for elderly and/or physically challenged residents of city apartments and the John Graham Shelter. The Vergennes-area youngsters got help from parent builders and donations from landscaping companies and Women of Wisdom. Pictured, left to right, are Leo McKenzie Flint, Leo Scout Jacobson, Leo mentor/parent Eric Jacobson, Leo mentor/parent Chris Clair, Leo Ben Hargett, Leo Wilder Jacobson, Summit Properties Manager Carly Lehrer.
