The First Coast 4H Club at Louis Sheffield Elementary was recognized at the Keep Jacksonville Beautiful Awards Luncheon for winning in the Elementary School category for their efforts over the last year. The club leaders, volunteers and members cleared out the damaged garden area of storm debris, old raised beds, and infestations to prepare a fresh new raised garden for the students to utilize for growing plants and vegetables. Home Depot partnered with the school to help achieve the goal and will continue to help going forward with expanding the garden project! Way to go Sheffield Elementary!
