Hello to all you who are interested in the 4H Gardening Club!
The Gardening Club is a project club and will meet 4x this fall semester.
Our meeting dates are:
September 25th
October 9th
October 30th
November 13th
We will be meeting from 9AM to 12PM at Walls Family Farm. If you need directions, please drop me a line/call me and I'll get directions to you.
Younger siblings are welcome to come as long as a parent is with them at all times to help with noise and motion. If they are able to join in, the more the merrier!
Our meeting on September 25th will be all about composting, specifically vermi-composting...which is composting with worms! Yes, there will be worms on site for you to touch and do experiments with.
We will be preparing our garden beds with compost and topping everything off with hay to insulate and compost into our beds.
If you are interested in doing a gardening/horticulture project, you will find enough learning experiences just at our meetings this year to fill out an entire project. Remember! 4H is not just about animals! You can have a great year and fill an entire record book with projects without ever touching anything that eats, drinks, or has hair!
Things to bring if you have it:
A pitch fork or shovel for spreading hay and compost.
A plastic tub with lid if you want to take some worms home with you for fishing or for your own garden.
Wear clothes and shoes appropriate for dirt and fun!
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED IN THE GARDENING PROJECT CLUB OR 4H IN GENERAL! THANKS!
See you at 9!
Vicki Stecher
