Two Girl Scouts Earn Project Awards with Mercer Botanic Gardens Projects

August 03 2023

Congratulations to two Girl Scouts who earned project awards at Mercer Botanic Gardens this week!

Erin York successfully completed her Gold Award by creating a self-guided walking tour brochure with QR codes covering our regional ecosystems, unique flora and fauna along Cypress Creek, and the mental health benefits of hiking. Check out Erin’s incredible work at mbot-cypresscreek-gs.com/home.
 
Kaitlin Nelson completed a Take Action Project tackling Indoor Air Pollution in preparation for work toward her Silver Award. Kaitlin educated park patrons about the common causes of indoor pollution and suggested simple yet creative ways to clean air in the home and office.
 
 

An outdoor treasure located in the hustle and bustle of Humble, Mercer Botanic Gardens spans 180 acres and is divided by Aldine Westfield Road – with Precinct 3 maintaining the east side that includes the Gardens. The Gardens is a 60-acre peaceful oasis where visitors can explore and admire gardens of bamboo, color displays, daylilies, endangered species, ferns, gingers, herbs, tropicals, and more.

Mercer employs a team of experienced botanists, horticulturalists, and gardeners who offer a wealth of knowledge and information, and who will gladly assist you during your visit. Its mission is to establish and maintain a versatile botanical facility for the greater Houston and Gulf Coast region that serves the public, horticultural industry, and scientific community.

If you know of a Girl or Boy Scout who would like to work on a project or award at Mercer Botanic Gardens, please send an email to MercerBotanicGardens@pct3.hctx.net
