We, the Scouts of Troop 48, have started a Daisy Garden for other scouts to use.

We could use some help with:

• Watering
• Weeding
• Fencing
  • new fence/chicken wire around sides
  • back fence (a stockade fence) needs some slats replaced, all slats painted and hopefully down the road each troop will pick a flower and paint one slat with that plant’s color.
  • need front gate
  • need trellis for morning glories to grow on -maybe around the front gate
• Planting – this garden represents the flowers introduced in Daisies each one with a specific color and associated with a specific law:
  • Daisies (planted a few)
  • Lupines (planted a few)
  • Sunflowers – started some and look to start some more as part of a Daisy Journey
  • Zinnia
  • Tulips – planted up front
  • Marigolds – planted
  • Morning Glories (need arch for them to climb on)
  • Geraniums
  • Clover – started and growing in lower left quadrant
  • Roses (need container to grow in)
  • Violets  (will grow as ground cover along with clover)

Possible Badges to earn

Possible journey take action projects

• Have Daisies help plant as part of their Welcome to the Daisy Garden project & Between Earth & Sky
• Have a troop start a composting bin
• Create story plaques to place around the garden telling about each flower and what she stands for
• Walkway through the garden – maybe sell bricks to raise money for the fencing and gate
• bird bath
• bee bath
• rain barrel as part of a Brownie wonders of water project to make watering the plants easier with some caveats**

**rain barrel – can’t be attached to the cabin because of the black walnut trees. must have screening to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs.
