Wiscasset Parks and Recreation had special visitors during April vacation camp last week. Jeff Averill and the folks from Ames Supply came and talked to campers about spring planting.
Averill brought along everything campers needed to start raised bed gardens with salad supplies and flowers. He showed everyone how to plant the seeds and fertilize for best growing. It worked because all of the seeds planted are already up and growing well.
Mike Gordon, our local Hancock Project Pro, and Hancock Lumber supplied materials for our birdhouse-building project. Senior center member Carl Hewitt took the time to cut all of the pieces needed.
The kids learned about building birdhouses and with both men’s assistance 17 houses were built. The kids all got new hats as well. Great job and many thanks to Jeff, Mike and Carl for all their assistance.
