Gardens Reclaim Bad Boys In Dayton Garden Plan
An August Popular Mechanics article details a Dayton program for delinquent youths in South Park. Each boy is given a 10 by 107 foot garden, surrounded by shrubbery, with an artistic Boys Garden Company office. Work hours run from 6:30 to 7:50 in the morning and 4:00 to 3:15 in the evening, with overtime requiring head gardener approval. Boys must tend their plots, clean tools, and avoid horseplay, gaining pocket money and learning responsibility through open air labor.
