Elementary Garden Club
The Undermountain After School Garden Club is a year-long program for students in 1st through 6th grades. Children are engaged in horticultural and environmental activities after school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. This multi-age group of students helps maintain the collection of plant material in the UME Greenhouse and the surrounding gardens at the SBRSD campus. The program is funded by the SBRSD, the Parent/Teacher Organization, donations from community members, and parents of the UME participants.
During the school year, students hold two fundraisers to help defray the cost of materials for the program. The first one is a Holiday Marketplace where students offer holiday wreaths that they have made, along with potted Amaryllis bulbs, and other interesting plants that have been grown in the UME Greenhouse. The second fundraiser is a spring plant sale that is held in May. The students provide all types of annual flowers, vegetables, and perennials for sale from the UME Greenhouse. The program, run by Ms. Peggy Wilson.
