Sayre Upper School's junior class volunteered their time and energy April 5 on a cleanup and repair project at the University of Kentucky Arboretum. Tasks included removing underbrush in the woods, transplanting hydrangeas and herbs, repairing the fish pond, building grapevine fences for vegetable gardens, digging weeds and raking mulch. Master gardeners and horticulture experts were there to instruct students on proper procedure. As a follow-up activity, students will write articles about their experiences for the Friends of the Arboretum newsletter.
