N.C. Watson One Room Schoolhouse Report
Summer 2020, the year N.C. Watson Schoolhouse saw its second flu pandemic. Even though the Schoolhouse wasn’t open to the public our Scouting volunteers have been busy. Lilly Guadiano is harvesting her second-year garden behind the school. Here is a report from Lilly:
“The garden has been doing very well this summer despite the lack of rain. This year’s addition of two new garden beds has allowed me to deliver many bags of vegetables to the food pantry every Friday, and I have even brought vegetables to another food pantry during the week because there have been so many. Thank you to all the people who have donated and helped me continue to expand the garden and reach more people, it wouldn’t be possible without the help of the community!”
The pictures don’t do the garden justice. There are carrots, beets, onions and tomatoes still going strong.
Sam Kovac, project manager for his Eagle Scout Project, has done a lovely job of creating a natural looking path from the rear of the property. It joins the path from the Buxton Elementary School to the wheelchair ramp at the back of the School. There were several Scouts who participated and all their work is appreciated.
Hopefully, next spring we will be able to begin a new schedule for visitation as well as become more of a resource for area public and private schools. Be safe, everyone.
