Garden Club at Lincoln School
Lincoln School in Garwood is excited to offer their first ever Garden Club. This socially distanced, outdoor, hands-on club was offered to any student in 4th or 5th Grade and the response was overwhelming. So many students wanted to get into the dirt that the school offered up two sessions of the club to meet for the Spring term.
So far, the “budding” horticulturists have learned about basic plant needs, have planted seeds, repotted seedlings, worked with hydroponics, used starter plants, propagated from succulents, and more.
Our garden club was organized under the supervision of Mrs. Bree, the middle school science teacher at the Garwood Schools, but could not be possible without the continued support and endless assistance of Mrs. DelConte, 5th grade teacher within Garwood Schools. Students even were privileged to have a visit from the town Green Team gardener with helpful advice on how to properly replant starters.
Donations are being accepted to the garden for planting. Please contact Mrs. Bree atkbree@garwoodschools.org if you would like to contribute to the garden or assist with your talents. Together, we are hoping to bring the love of gardening and the outdoors to our next generation of students.
