Made of iron, the bench was designed and built by Tom Walsh's South Huron District High School Class.This is the sixth year for the garden club, which features 50 students from Grades One to Six. Parent volunteer Sheila deLange said students have been divided into five groups this year, with each group responsible for a raised garden bed.
