Events & ProgramsGarden ClubCo-Chair: Lynn Blank Calling all gardeners (and those who just love the outdoors)!
Join in on the outdoor beautification at Pond Cove School! The Garden Club would enjoy your help with opening the gardens at Pond Cove. May 10th – May 12th the outside gardens and Nautureland will be freshened and mulched. Join in any time you are able during the school day. Gardening gloves suggested and feel free to bring clippers and/or trowels. Younger children may join between the hours of 8:30 - 9:50 or after 2:10 (they must be supervised). Lynn Blank will be coordinating the clean up and happy to hear from you. Volunteering for the Garden Club gives the opportunity to make a visual impact and improve the aesthetics in an area our students enjoy daily. Other than Mother Nature influencing when you dig in, the schedule is really driven by your availability. Parents and guardians volunteering through the Garden Club are able to work on the current projects anytime, including during the school day! Younger children may join a supervising adult on the weekends or during the week between 8:30 and 9:50 a.m. or after 2:10 p.m. Public works provides pick up leaf bags at two drop off areas with easy access to deposit the bags as shown in the photo below. If you have recently worked in the gardens and left leaf bags at either location, please contact Lynn with the number of bags, which location and the date they were left. The Garden Club has been asked to help raise awareness of natural items needed for the Natureland Area. As we tend to our yard, we may find a wealth of dried materials. These materials could include:
The students will have these materials available when playing at Natureland. They use the materials to build "fairy houses" and other creative discovery. The two critical rules when collecting such materials is to use only natural materials and not to harm anything that is still growing, (although garden trimmings from home are great to recycle!) Items fitting the descriptions above may be brought, in a bag, to the Pond Cove Reception Desk. Please label the bag "Natureland." If you have plants you would like to donate or would like more information about current projects, contact Lynn. 
This aerial photograph of Pond Cove shows where the Garden Club has put in most of its effort to date. Please join us for as much time as you can give! |
