Seniors from Pembroke Hill High School spent Friday, May 18, 2012 working hard in the Strawberry Hill Neighborhood Association Garden at 7th and Sandusky in Kansas City, Kansas (just a couple of blocks south of City Hall...click the map to enlarge).
The students organized a fundraiser for the garden and then went to work on the site. According to Strawberry Hill Neighborhood Association president Carole Diehl, the group installed a beautiful stone walkway, marble edged flower beds, a gate, flowers, 3 huge raised beds, a playground for kids, a glider and much more.
Well-known KCK artist Mike Savage provided a new sign for the garden and a beautiful mural for the wall along the north edge.
Ms. Diehl praised the students for their efforts and said they are "absolutely the greatest".
Volunteers are needed to help tend the new flower garden along the north edge of the garden. If you'd like to volunteer or if you'd like to inquire about planting vegetables in one of the garden's raised beds, please email Carole Diehl at cdneighborhood@yahoo.com. Many thanks to the wonderful Pembroke Hill students for enhancing our downtown and to the many volunteers from the Strawberry Hill Neighborhood Association who tend the garden year 'round!
