Greetings Garden Club!

Welcome back to Kanapaha, gardeners!

This year is going to be an exciting one! Starting on "meet the teacher" day (Aug 20), applications will be available for students interested in joining! Make sure to stop in at Ms. Boyagian's room or Ms. Byrd's room to get one!

There is a new set-up for garden club, and here are a few of the changes:

1. Dues: $15 covers your snacks for when you work in the garden, and a club t-shirt.

2. All students interested in receiving free veggies from the garden must log at least 20 hours of work in the garden per growing season. (If you don't make it for one season, your hours roll over to the next season. There are approximately 3 growing seasons during the school year.)

3. Prizes for students that log the most hours.

4. Weekend Work Days - these will be more regular than last year, invite friends and family to help! :)


Can't wait to see you!

I went to the Saturday farmer's market today and bought some
organic fish fertilizer from a guy who also sells worm castings.
This is exciting because our garden is in need of regular fertilizing, and
I would much rather go organic (but the donated miracle grow gave us
the nudge that we needed). Everything is growing now, and the kids have really
helped enormously. Next week will buy the worm castings and that soil will be
10 times better next year!

Yay Miracle Grow (I succumbed)!

Wow! Last Friday I put some Miracle Grow on
most of the plants (we had lots of yellow leaves) and everything is really
lookin' better! Plus all of that rain Sunday helped.
The potatoes look totally hearty and awesome.

Belk Fundraiser

See Ms. Boyagian to buy $5 tickets to get a $5 discount at Belk on Saturday 6-10AM - all proceeds go to the Garden Club funds!
Great news for Garden Club! We finally have some
volunteers with expertise on board to help! More later...

Ps. We could really use worms. Donations anyone?
