Garden Club

gareth — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 03:09:56 +0000

Cartoon Network had Garden Club with the first graders in February. They planted daffodils in the garden next to the strawberry plants. Keep an eye out for them blooming in a few weeks. You can see them near the apple tree that is already full of big pink blossoms. Mrs. Hill’s fifth grade Garden Club continues to meet on Fridays at lunch in the garden. They will be planting some lettuce and radishes. If you are interested in knowing when we will be in the garden on the weekends, please contact Jennifer at GardenSquad@Liloebe.com.
