Blake Wegener built six raised beds out of cedar for his Eagle Scout project, so that Helen Baller Elementary School students could put "farm-to-table" eating into practice by harvesting lettuce and tomatoes in the garden.

Blake Wegener’s Eagle Scout project will help elementary school students learn about the concept of farm-to-table eating.

Wegener, 16, built six raised, cedar flower beds in the Helen Baller Elementary School garden, where students will grow and harvest vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes.
