Green Teens at Bedichek Middle School
Keep Austin Beautiful has partnered with Citizen Schools to lead a Green Teens apprenticeship at Bedichek Middle Schools. During the spring semester at Bedichek Middle School Green Teens designed and installed a garden. In the process they learned about native plants, the uses of plants, ecosystems, and mapping, while working as a team and gaining leadership skills.

Green Teens adopted a plant and determined the best location to plant it.

Beautify Bedichek
Green Teens and their families along with other Citizen Schools youth and community members teamed up on Saturday, April 14th to install 6 raised beds at Bedichek Middle School. Check out the hard work completed to beautify the school.

Building garden beds is no easy task... from hauling rocks and 6 yards of soil and mulch to building the raised beds.

Native plants find a home in the new beds.
