Livingston Elementary School Garden Club

Students in the after-school LES Garden Club help grow vegetable, herb, and flower starts, and at the end of each school year they can take starts home for their own gardens. Students also learn about plant sciences and indoor produce production in a course taught by Elise Reed, who has a grow tower in her classroom. Ms. Reed and the students use some of the produce to make vegetable soup and smoothies.

Students looking into a cold frame
Students and staff at Livingston Elementary School teamed up with the Cody Conservation District to plant a pollinator garden. They raise flower starts in cold frames located in a protected area, and transplant those starts in the spring when weather permits.

The Cody Conservation District has helped establish pollinator gardens in Cody and surrounding rural areas, including one at the Livingston Elementary School. Here, students and staff, with assistance from the CCD, pose for a picture prior to planting.
