A special "Thank You" goes out to Susan Kelly who is the teacher that sponsors the Garden Club. She teaches informative, fun lessons to the students and has instilled a love for gardening in them that will follow them into adulthood. This year, one student's Mom called Susan and told her that she didn't even realize that her daughter had an interest in gardening, but since taking Susan's class, it was all she could talk about. Bravo, Mrs. Kelly!!
Susan was kind enough to let me work with the students twice a month while I was accumulating my for 40 hours of community service required to become a Master Gardener.
On my last visit of the year, we made a miniature garden out of cookies and candy. It was our rendition of an end-of-the-year garden party!
And then our raised beds were placed on a green garden tablecloth with miniature tools spread around. It made a great garden and great Instagram photo op.
But the best part, of course, was eating it up!!!
Love ya'll,
Shelli
