Harrison Fish, Eagle Scout, after completing his landscape project at Calvary Children's Home in AtlantaRecently, Harrison Fish, a 13-year-old Boy Scout with Troop 89 in Atlanta, GA, approached EP Minerals with a donation request for landscape project for the Calvary Children’s Home in Powder Springs, GA - as his Eagle Scout Project. Calvary Children’s Home had made a specific request to Harrison’s Boy Scout troop for help to improve the aesthetics of their property to create a more pleasant campus for the kids, donors, and workers.
The "before" shot of the parking lot areaHarrison took on the challenge which included landscaping around a sewer drain and parking lot.
The landscape project teamHarrison submitted an eight-page plan to EP Minerals for his project, requesting a donation of Axis Ceramic soil amendment and a contribution for the plants and supplies that he would need.
Harrison used EP Minerals' Axis Ceramic soil amendment for it's water holding and plant root growth capabilitiesEP Minerals gives back to help families in need and especially children, so we were happy to help.
Mixing Axis Ceramic into the soil before plantingHarrison chose a combination of arborvitae, Japanese holly, miniature and large azaleas and Cleyera for his landscaping. He chose the Axis Ceramic soil amendment because of its moisture holding and root growth properties. Read what our customers say about Axis soil amendment
The "after" shot of the parking lot areaCalvary Children's Home was looking for a low water, low maintenance landscape solution, so Axis was a good choice for the soil and plants. The Axis Ceramic was mixed in with soil before the plants were put in and Harrison used pine straw on top to also retain water for the plants.
