It all started during the pandemic, a vision for an Eagle Scout service project created by his love for nature. Robert “Zeke” Schmidt presented his vision to The Meadow’s Home Owners Association and obtained permission to proceed with a small community garden located off Sugar Road, between Vance and McKee Streets in Edinburg. His vision involved a place for reflection and meditation, a Serenity Garden filled with native plants to attract
butterflies and other pollinating insects.
