Civic Service Firmly Planted in Horticulture Students' Work Ethic

Fresh from a morning rain that perked up the season's greenery, Way's Garden in Williamsport got some friendly attention Wednesday from six students of horticulture instructor Carl J. Bower Jr. Joining forces with the caretakers of the community park – just northeast of Penn College's main campus – the landscape/horticulture technology: landscape emphasis majors weeded, raked and planted in recognition of Earth Day. The activity was also part of National Association of Landscape Professionals' annual Day of Service, in which students have regularly lent a collective helping hand. Participating this year were Andrew M. Basile, of Pottstown; Zachary M. Meling, of Hawley; Elliot C. Redding, of Aspers; Kyle M. Richardson, of Hopewell, New Jersey; Ryan Rousseau, of Pipersville; and Seth J. Wyncoll, of Kempton.
