This is a student club for grades 4-8.  The club is held during the fall and spring.  In the fall, students weed and harvest the raised bed.  They plant fall bulbs and prepare the beds for the winter.  In the spring, students propagate plants from seed in our greenhouse.  They attend to the bulbs that were planted in the fall and plant seedlings in the raised beds.

 

An elementary school garden club is a vibrant and hands-on extracurricular activity that offers students a unique opportunity to connect with nature and foster essential life skills. This club typically brings together young learners who share a common interest in gardening and environmental sustainability. Students who participate in a garden club are exposed to a wide range of educational experiences, from planting and nurturing various plants to understanding the intricate web of ecosystems. They learn about soil health, the importance of pollinators like bees and butterflies, and the benefits of organic gardening practices. Through their involvement in garden club activities, students gain practical knowledge about the environment and agriculture while also developing a deep sense of responsibility and teamwork.
