The Edgewater Elementary Greenhouse Club is off to a great start! Our second group of volunteers met with the Monday group for the first time this week. Between both groups, we have about 50 second and third graders participating in the program along with a waiting list for our next session.

The Thursday group has already planted their seeds and we have some plants beginning to sprout!

Students were also learning to examine soil samples and choose the best type for planting.

Both groups will be using journals to track their progress as well as take notes from gardening and nutrition lessons.

We look forward to tracking the students’ progress in coming weeks!
