Homewood’s community garden
BB&T and Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC recently volunteered to assist in improving the Homewood City Schools’ new Community Garden located at the old Homewood Middle School site. BB&T selected the Community Garden as one of its BB&T Lighthouse Projects, a company-wide community service effort
held in May and June every year. With this project, BB&T purchased materials and assembled 10 community beds and a compost bin for the garden. Brasfield & Gorrie’s co-ops and interns built the footing for the future pavilion and constructed the base for the garden’s welcome sign.
Eight Homewood students named National Merit Semifinalists
