Meadowlark Garden Club

Students at Meadowlark Elementary School learn various aspects of gardening and horticulture, including planting seeds, caring for plants throughout the growing season, harvesting, cleaning, and the importance of pollinators. The students grow vegetables and flowers in raised beds, and each fall use the fresh produce in cooking classes. The garden club, in part, was modeled after the University of Wyoming Junior Master Gardener Program.
