The biggest project is the plot at Peter Burnett junior High School, where the members of the shop have been working for three years. A lath house was built, a wire fence was put up around the area, and plans are being made for a glass house and log cabin. A sprinkling system was put in for a future lawn, and an asphalt driveway was made. The growing yard is on one plot, and the boys' court is in the other.
