Orientale chose the Atria Briarcliff community to complete his Eagle Scout Service Project. He created a beautiful indoor garden for the residents to enjoy all year.

Orientale has been volunteering at Atria Briarcliff for a few years and said it was a natural selection to choose the community to complete his project.

The garden was completed in time for Earth Day in April, and Atria Briarcliff held an official unveiling and reception for Orientale on May 7.

He was joined by his family, troop members and the residents of Atria Briarcliff to congratulate him on a job well done.
