The Bear River Activity Center (BRASC) participants have been busy in between rainstorms this spring planting vegetables and flowers in their new raised garden bed.
Raised garden bed built by Armenian students
The raised bed was built by USU students who belong to the Armenian Student Association as a follow up to a service project they started last fall when they spent an afternoon cleaning up the overgrowth of vegetation and weeds behind the BRASC building. The students secured donations for the building materials needed to build the large raised garden bed that is now filled with tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, and flowers.
The BRASC participants spent some therapeutic hours putting the soil in the bed and getting their fingers dirty planting the seeds and flowers. They will continue to roll up their sleeves this summer, as they keep the plants watered and weeded.

Not only will the raised bed provide something beautiful for them to look at, but the vegetables will provide some delicious additions to their lunches throughout the summer.
A big thank you from the BRASC participants goes out to the Armenian students who helped to make all of this possible!
