“Grow With Us Little Gardeners ” Youth Club 2025

The Smoke Rise Morning Glories GC has established a new youth pre-K GC called Grow with Us Little Gardeners. There are 40 in the pre-school group, evenly represented by boys and girls. The church-affiliated group meets twice a month (6-8 months of the year) and plans to hold 12-16 meetings per year. Each program will last 20-30 minutes. Morning Glories President, Amie Walsh, is the project coordinator and will work closely with the teacher on lesson plans. Many of the Morning Glories will participate in presenting programs. SR Morning Glories have already had several interactive programs with the children.  These programs included worms and ladybugs. Future programs planned include Leaves, Pumpkin Patch, Pansies, Spinning (cotton) Blessings from our Garden book reading, Holiday wreath-making using bay leaves and Making Pinecone Bird Feeders. We are fortunate that the school already has kid-size gardening tools and raised garden beds. We’re excited about interacting with the Little Gardeners.
