The board worked with Dr. Knox school students and staff over the last two years to help finalize a project agreement, which will include seasonal plants and medicinals for up to 36 people in an outdoor space.
The garden will also consist of boulders, solar lights, a mower strip and wood for a plaque and story post.
The total project is estimated at $14,250.
For the second project, Dorothea Walker students and staff are painting a mural on the concrete parking lot barriers outside their school.
The project involves painting the surface of the concrete girder, which will circle a playing area at the school.
The total project cost is estimated to be around $200 and the school has committed to maintaining and repairing the mural.
