ERNEST GALLET GARDEN PROJECT
Master Gardeners Pat Tracy, Stephanie Vallot, Don Weintritt and Marsha Bayer recently met at the Ernest Gallet School Garden in Youngsville to help solve a problem. With our rainy weather there are many days of the school year when Ms. Hannah LeBlanc’s third grade class cannot get to the garden. Right before Christmas break Lowe’s delivered 180 - 12x12 inch cement stepping stones/pavers. We met up to lay them out around our garden tubs. We laid a path around the tubs for easy and dry access. Then we laid a path from the sidewalk near the classroom to the garden. The children and Ms. LeBlanc were very appreciative!!
