Do you enjoy plants and seeing them grow into something extraordinary? Ms. Hoffman and Ms. Maggiore are starting a Gardening Club. In the Gardening Club, or Horticulture Club as it will be named officially, you will be able to learn how to garden properly and learn more about plants.

The point of Horticulture Club is to grow a garden and maintain it, as well as explore techniques for it to grow healthy and successfully. Horticulture Club will teach students how to grow plants, care for plants, and lastly how to be responsible for the schools future garden.

Horticulture Club already had their first official meeting on September 16, 2019. In the
meeting, Ms. Hoffman, Ms. Maggiore, and the officers of Gardening Club talked about the ideas of how and when to make the design of the school’s future garden. Plans are not finalized yet.
