“Peterson in the Community” donated funds and labor to build three garden beds.  The beds were constructed on May 3.  

Girls from the Daisy Girl Scout Troop 33227, led by Shelly Lumm, came a week after the beds were built and planted with corn, beans, tomatoes and melons to release ladybugs and worms and plant marigolds by to help keep pests away.
