Eagle Scouts Swoop In on Quail Botanical Gardens

For Throwback Thursday, we’re traveling back in time to April 23, 1973 when a local Eagle Scout troop pitched in at County-owned Quail Botanical Gardens. The scouts helped William Crane (left), president of a Plantamation, install an irrigation system at the park known for its landscaping. The park in Encinitas is now operated by San Diego Botanic Garden.
