request of Shenita Hamilton and Sean and Sean Armstrong. According to the president, it does fall
within the mission the organization which is to provide educational
opportunities to the youth in the community.
The group showered praises upon the Winston County Master Gardeners for
the work done at Dean Park in 2012 which consisted of cleaning, pruning,
building a compost, fertilizing, replenishing soil and mulch around the
playground. County Agent Mike Skipper
was instrumental in working with the group as they learned while working. It
was considered community service hours for the 13 members.
