Garden Club Application

Welcome to your application for the Meadow Glen Elementary School Garden Club.

Our garden club will meet on Tuesdays after school from dismissal to 4:00 starting in August. We will plant vegetables and flowers, weed and water our gardens, and learn about the plants and animals found in and around our gardens. Garden club members will also be expected to write at least one blog post per month. Posts can be about their experiences in our school garden, work or learning they have done in a family member’s garden, a visit to a farmer’s market or community garden, outdoor experiences in nature with family and friends, or a topic related to gardening or agriculture they have researched online.

To join the garden club, students must complete this online application. The “application” is really the list of questions found below that must be answered by reading and commenting on posts in this blog.

Only students who finish all of the questions below will be allowed to join the garden club. Students will be added to the club in the order that they finish the questions. Remember that many of the answers to the questions are in the blog posts, so make sure you read them!

The first 15 students who complete all of the questions and make all of the required blog comments will be invited to join the club. If we receive more than 15 applications, students will be added as others leave.
