Eagle's Nest in April

Over the April 9-10 outreach weekend, FAA 391 students took on a number of landscaping projects at The Joseph Center to get it in shape for spring! Students did maintenance on a number of beds that students planted during the spring 2009 semester. They also did a lot of brush clearing on a right-of-way at the back of the property, and massive soil transplanting. The Joseph Center maintains this public right-of-way to keep the block looking tidy. Students learned new skills such as splitting and transplanting irises, hostas, and daylilies, as well as general plant and weed identification. They also had the opportunity to interact with residents of The Joseph Center, who helped the students with some of the projects. The Joseph Center was looking sharp when we left on Saturday!
