Longfellow Family Garden Club

You can join the Longfellow Family Garden Club. If you want to participate you can either RSVP for the May 12th meeting at 6:00 PM in the auditorium or you can email Jill Niewoehner at pto@newwanderer.com.

The Longfellow Family Garden Club is a group comprised of Longfellow families who believe in good food, and want to learn to grow their own. They plant and maintain the vegetable beds on the south side of the building (across from the new greenhouse donated by the Girl Scouts). Families in the club sign up to maintain the garden for a week or two over the summer. There are optional evening meetings in the summer to learn about taking care of the garden from each other. Families learn about soil, weeding, planting, and the best part, HARVESTING! The members of the garden club share in the bounty, and the leftover produce is donated.
