They labored, and almost immediately they ll literally be reaping the fruits of those labors.
An excited group of YMCA of South Collier (Marco Y) afterschool students celebrated Earth Day recently by helping plant two citrus trees donated by Affordable Landscaping s Al Benarroch.
The lemon and orange trees will grow within the Y s rekindled vegetable garden situated behind the Youth Development Center.
On hand for the more strenuous part of the digging were Benarroch and company supervisor Alex Hernandez, who then directed filling and smoothing operations by the kids themselves.
