The Greenville Girls Softball Association, Zechar Bailey Funeral Home and the Butterflies Junior Garden Club teamed together to add a new landscaping flower bed to the Stebbins Field softball complex located just north of Greenville. Eric Fellers, President of the GGSA, was interested in creating some additional landscaping and called upon his daughters, Brianna and Saige, to present the idea to their junior Garden Club. It was decided to incorporate a 6ft. W x 2 ft. H. X 6 ft large galvanized round end stock tank to get a raised bed that would not be trampled. Eric enlisted members of GGSA to assist the Garden Club. Jason Hupman provided mulch, Daniel Myers helped with digging out the area, hauling in dirt and Sam Stebbins assisted with gravel and sand. Greg Zechar of Zechar Bailey Funeral became interested in the youth project by providing the flowers planted in the raised bed. The Garden club received a grant from the Ohio Association of Garden Clubs Foundation to cover the cost of the tank, fertilizer, compost, and other supplies.

Shown with the finished project is Jason and Brody Hupman, Kyle Cromwell GGSA trustee and flower bed caretaker, Daniel Myers and daughter Kenzie, Greg Zechar, GGSA President Eric Fellers, Jason Christian GGSA tournament director, Kim Cromwell leader of the Butterflies and Charlene Thornhill, leader of the club and trustee of OAGC Foundation, Inc. Seated in front are Butterflies members Brianna Fellers, Saige Fellers, Grace Specht, Kendall Cromwell and Kate Rehmert.

The junior club will maintain the flower bed throughout the summer as well as large containers planted near the concession stand.
