Happy Harvest Gardeners! Dig in to Garden Club Plans for School Year 2022-23!
Although we are sad to our former Garden Club advisors moving on! Although Mr. McLaughlin will go back to UDHS, we hope to continue to work with him and high school students for big projects! Mr. Meyer, always helpful, continues to offer Sandy Run Students an opportunity through an extension project with our garden club! Both allow for intergenerational exchanges between Upper Dublin Students who like to garden in this community.
We are searching for a TFES teacher/staffer advisor to help restart our student program in Spring2023. We are also searching for community volunteers to be Parent Leaders and committee members to organize impactful projects. We have a very limited Fall schedule and hope to return regularly in the Spring. (CLICK HERE Signup for all).
Save the Dates for Garden Club School Year 2022-23:

GARDEN CLUB STUDENT PROGRAM
The Club offers hands-on gardening activities, as an enrichment program for all TFES Students. Parent Info/Links to Signups at www.tfesgardenclub.org/students.
We had a great Fall Garden Club meeting for each grade on October 21st (photos below)! We wish that we could offer more classes this Fall, but we need more help! We are forming a community committee to assist in creating curriculum, organize volunteers and teach classes. The Student Program @ Recess has worked well, but we need some help to do this on a regular basis in the Spring.
STUDENTS/VOLUNTEERS: UPDATE MEMBERSHIP FORMS EACH SCHOOL YEAR!

TESTIMONIALS
We have been getting some great feedback from parents. So many kids enjoy eating new foods like Kale and Radishes, which we grew and tasted this year! Such amazing stories of children’s seeds taking off and growing into huge tomato plants, which sometimes even inspired backyard gardens! WE WANT TO HEAR MORE FROM YOU!!!!
