Children will meet from April-September to design and care for their own vegetable garden plot as well as learn about gardening topics through fun games and activities. Participants are required to make a commitment to attending the full season at the time of registration. Reservations required & limited: Call 277-6545 or register online. Please note: we have updated the registration process for 2009. Due to the popularity of this program, a random drawing will be used to fill the club this year. Children can be entered by registering them online or by phone from March 2 to March 16. One ticket per family will be created and entered into a pool. The first eighteen youth whose names are chosen will be admitted into the club. All interested families will be notified of their spot in the club or on the waiting list by March 20.

Seniors with limited mobility are invited to garden in a wheel chair- and walker-accessible area with raised containers. Gloves, tools, and refreshments are provided.
