There’s plenty to be learned through working in a garden.
Several local youth will have the opportunity to gain some of that knowledge this summer.
Keep Abbeville Beautiful is partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of Acadiana on a program that will allow members of the local club to help at Harmony Park, a community garden located at the corner of Lamar Street and Martin Luther King Drive in Abbeville.
Claire Broussard, a member of the KAB committee, spoke to the Kiwanis Club of Abbeville on Tuesday about some details of the program.

BATON ROUGE, La. — The Charles and Rose Broussard Internship has been awarded to Lily Grace Perrin, an incoming freshman at McNeese State University. Perrin is currently a senior and student of the year at Kaplan High School in Vermilion Parish.
The award is given to high school or college students to offer a student practical experience with
agriculture research through a paid internship opportunity. It was established by the children of Charles and Rose Broussard to honor their parents’ hard work and dedication to agriculture.

The Richard Sale Barn has officially reopened.
Originally built in 1937 by J. Avery Richard as the Abbeville Commission Company, the barn once served as a cattle auction house, famously accessible by water along the Vermilion River. Much of that original structure still stands today, preserving the authenticity and history of this one-of-a-kind space.
