Compost is decayed organic material that can be used to fertilize and improve the soil. Girl Scout USA Troop 55854 based in Farmington has completed a project that will help to improve the Farmington Community Garden located at Meadowview Elementary. The Community Garden is managed by Farmington Community Education and also supported with a partnership with the city of Farmington, created in 2010. The Troop planned and built compost bins to be used at the Farmington Community Garden.

The Tiger Legacy & Learning Center at 510 Walnut Street in historic downtown Farmington has received some great updating recently. Local Boy Scout Jonah Kragness found a way to enhance the outdoor area near the preschool playground and the sport court. Jonah presented an idea to place four benches outside west of the Tiger Legacy & Learning Center (TLLC) to Dan Miller, District 192 Building and Grounds Director and Bri Ostoff, Farmington Community Education Director. Once he received approval, he set to work planning the project, raising funds and finding sponsors to support this project.
