In our first class, we got some special requests to plant strawberries, beets, and swiss chard. We are happy to announce that the very next day, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange donated all three for our garden. They are delighted to see children who are interested in gardening and eager to foster a love of gardening in generations to come. Any other requests?

Avery and Jackson are SO Excited! They had a fabulous time at the first Garden Club meeting getting things started and are already counting down the days until the next meeting. What a valuable life skill you are fostering - thank you!

This is a wonderful website. I love being able to keep up with what you guys are up to and what will be growing back by the little red schoolhouse. We are so lucky to have a real master gardener two teachers, and eleven kids up to their elbows in mud!

Thanks for sharing the afternoon with us! It's almost like being there. My children enjoy this education disguised as fun stuff!

After the first day at Garden Club this fall, my child said, "Garden club was AWESOME!" I strongly believe that, among other things, both vegetables and dirt are wonderful for children. A very special thank you to the guides who invited the children and who are leading Garden Club this season!

Now when we tell our kids to eat their vegetables (squash, cucumbers, string beans, tomatoes) they say they can't because these are fruit! Can we tell them these are part of the vegetable kingdom? Signed, an outfoxed parent.
