Senior Pat Longo and his Eagle Scout troop worked tirelessly to help restore the Ballay Garden along the Wissahickon. The meditation garden was a gift to the GA community community from the Ballay family in memory of their son Cole. Since it's installation in 2009, storms and flood waters have disrupted the hardscaping around the seating area and entrance way to the creekside garden. When Longo approached Upper School Nature Program Coordinator and Preserve manager Sarah Kesten to inquire about a school need the garden was on the top of her list. The decision to restore the garden was an easy one for Longo who loves the outdoors and felt that this particular project was a great way to honor a fine young man and give back to GA.
