Members of the local Haybalers and Wild Mustangs 4-H clubs recently gathered in Community Park to build raised-bed garden boxes for garden displays at the Houlton Fair. Scott Dionne of S.W. Collins provided the pre-cut lumber, materials and expertise to help members build the boxes. Several local 4-H clubs will design and plant themed educational mini-gardens for all ages to enjoy this summer at the Houlton Fair while learning about the importance of gardening and farms and the food they grow for us. Working on the project were, from left to right, front, Mikayla Fitzpatrick, Sara Fitzpatrick, Melissa Peabody, Lindsay Gardner, Hanna Jacobs, Hannah Gervais, Megan McLaughlin, Aimee Cottle, Lauren Eastham, Ean Bolstridge, Owen Bolstridge and Rebecca Mooers; back, Scott Dionne of S.W. Collins Company and son Pruet, Chelsea Green, Linda Trickey of the University of Maine Extension, Jacob Jones and Carolyn Mooers.
