A gardening effort between the West Babylon Junior High School Community Service Club and Daisy Troop 1022 not only improved the school courtyard, but assisted in the younger girls’ earning of the Golden Honey Bee Award. The goal for receiving this coveted award is to make the world a better place through a gardening project.

Chip DeGennaro of DeGennaro’s Landscaping generously donated flowers for the group to plant and showed the students how to properly plant them in the courtyard. Not only did all of the participants have a wonderful time, the courtyard was beautifully planted in time for the eighth-grade dance.
