Build The Veterans Healing Garden
Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center's SkillsUSA students continue to work on the development and cleanup of the Veteran's Healing Garden located at the Chillicothe, VA. Wearing masks and following CDC guidelines, SkillsUSA students weeded the three garden areas and applied 20 yards of mulch with the help of Michelle Schatzman, a volunteer, and Mel Harrison's Agroscapes. Mr. Harrison supervised a volunteer crew and students in mulching the garden. Mel also provided donated mulch that was used for the garden. Students also planted 18 Bird’s Nest Spruce and 18 Blue Globe Spruce.
Current students and graduates of PRCTC were involved in the cleanup and development of the garden. Jake Whited, a junior welding student, and Shannon McCullough, a PRCTC graduate and veteran, welded a bench in honor of Navy Veteran Gary Shinnick, who passed away in 2018. Mr. Shinnick worked with Michelle Schatzman in getting the Veterans Healing Garden started prior to his passing (originally called the Mace House Healing Garden).
Shannon, a 1992 graduate of Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center, served in the Marine Corps Reserves from 1994 - 2000. From 2004 - 2007, he worked for private security in Iraq.
Carpentry students in 2018 build six wooden benches for the garden. This year the SkillsUSA mentoring group and Mark Johnston's engineering students power washed, sanded, and stained the benches.
