After selling away it was time for the "Dirty Rascals" to live up to their name. The club with parents, and a few Master Gardeners in tow headed down the road (less than a half a mile) and quietly pulled in to the Hospice House. Each
year the Dirty Rascals partner with Hospice House to plant a garden area for families and patients to enjoy.
This year the Master Gardeners helped placed the plants in the garden area and the youth (sometimes with a little help) dug into the pine straw and made sure the plants had a new place to grow. At the end of the planting the Dirty Rascal JMG club members gave a representative of the Hospice House a piece of garden art, a glow in the dark frog stake. One of the logos for this club include a frog and the club members thought this would be a nice way of leaving their mark, and hopefully a smile on the face, of those who enjoy this lovely garden.
The activity is actually one of the first United Way, Day of Caring activities that take place. The actual 'Day of Caring" will take place on Thursday, May 12. A variety of activities will take place including canned food drives, back pack buddies, and a knit in at O. P. Owens. If you would like more information on the Day of Caring or would like to volunteer for one of the more than a dozen activities that will be going on that day please contact the United Way of Robeson County at (910) 739-4849.
