LMS Garden Club

Funded Mar 16, 2021

I think we can all agree that last year was anything but normal. Students sat in rows and listened to me in class talk to them through a computer so virtual students could also engage in classroom discussions. Computers helped keep us connected but at the same time so disconnected. That is until YOU helped us have some sort of normalcy back. At the start of the club, we told students that we would start a Garden Club, but due to funding, we didn't know WHEN we would actually be able to start gardening. Thanks to YOU, we were able to spend time together outside and feel "normal" again. We weren't staring at a computer screen for 7 hours in school then going home to spend another 4-5 hours staring at a computer, we were making memories together outdoors in nature!

The Garden Club still stands strong and we have expanded our little vegetable garden to three full gardens including an herb garden, a North American Butterfly Association certified Butterfly Garden and a courtyard vegetable garden.

We truly wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. You were there for us from the very start and on behalf of the Gardening Club which is now made up of three teachers and over 25 students, we thank you dearly.”

With gratitude,
