Club Description:

Inspired by the student autonomy of Japanese schoolchildren, the invasive threat of global warming, the biological and chemical health benefits produced in people when they are outside doing manual labor, the INFLATION OF GROCERIES, and the joy of having grown plants, vegetables, and flowers ourselves; we, as the Gardening Club, wish to foster a stronger Garcia Middle School community in which students and staff come together to take care of the school’s garden.

Participating in Gardening Club offers collaboration skills, volunteer hours, and perhaps extra credit for Science and History classes.
