TFES GARDEN CLUB REVIVAL
First founded in 2010, the TFES-Garden Club (TFES-GC) cultivates food, friendships and young minds. We are ready to grow!
SIGNUP TO Be a Club Member – Get Garden News First!
Do you love being outside and getting your hands dirty? Are you interested in working in our school garden? If so, sign-up and join the Thomas Fitzwater Garden Club! We are looking for Kids and the Young-at-Heart to help us grow food and beautify our school grounds with native plants! We also plan to have fun while learning and loving nature along the way!
ABOUT TFES STUDENT GARDEN CLUB PROGRAM:
Student SignUps for this year are open! Student Club Classes will take place at your student’s Lunch time, offering hands-on gardening activities. See our Student Page for details and Signup Form.
ABOUT COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORT:
We have found an overwhelming support from the community of all ages — from pre-elementary star seeds, to tree-planting middle schoolers, to environmentally enthusiastic teens, to parents of elementary students growing with their kids and we are so fortunate to have “wiser” gardeners who have had their share of harvests over the years.
ABOUT COMMUNITY EVENTS:
TFES Garden Club has exciting happenings, so stay tuned to GARDEN CLUB EVENTS PAGE as we add new events, post updates, share volunteer signups and more info!
Come Grow With Us!
To be involved in the Garden Club, please fill out the E-Form Sign-Up with the Membership Type (all free!). Your contact information will be added to the correct list, so you can receive relevant emails.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR HELP FROM: Families interested in volunteering, Thomas Fitzwater Elementary Student Members, Sandy Run Middle School Members, and Adult volunteers with Upper Dublin School District Clearances.
