OBJECTIVE: To provide an opportunity to learn and practice planting, gardening, and community service. Each member will learn how cleaning and landscaping brings beauty both to individuals and to a community. Each member will experience the work of bringing things to life and maintaining life.
MISSION: As a club, we will assist with the bee and butterfly garden with the Enos Park Neighborhood Beautification Team and assist elderly residents with flower beds, planters, and yard cleanup. We will care for the plants @ McClernand Elementary School around their school building. We will coordinate with the Construction Club and offer to plant seeds to grow flower starters that they could use in the planters they will build. *No experience is necessary and people of all ages welcome. Bring a smile and some clothes you can get dirty!
MEETING DATES: The club will meet on Sundays from 3:30-5pm weekly for 9 weeks at Enos Park Neighborhood Garden (1018 N. 5th St.).
June 11th, 17th, 25th
**18th no meeting, but we will meet on Saturday June 17th to make Father’s day salsa,
July 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th
August 7th
NEED: In order to have the greatest impact on teaching our members the importance of planting seeds, gardening and community service, we will need things like garden gloves (adult and child size), potting soil and empty flats for planting seeds. HSHS St John’s will provide a donation of snack items and drinks for each week.
