Girl Scouts to grow oyster garden

A Mobile County Girl Scout examines an oyster May 21 at the Auburn University Shellfish Lab
during a workshop for volunteers who will grow oysters for restoration. A group of Girl Scouts
will be joining the Mobile Bay Oyster Gardening Program this year. A total of 14 volunteers
attended the workshop, which was one of two workshops held in coastal Alabama.
