Girl Power gets it done at Grimsley High School’s Garden and Greenhouse

Twelve female seniors at Grimsley High School make up the Gardening Club sponsored by Environmental Science teacher Mr. Robert “Bob” Barnard. Last year Mr. Barnard and his students refurbished their greenhouse which hadn’t been used for quite a few years.

This year’s club members are excited and energized about using the greenhouse to grow seedlings to plant in their outside garden plot in the spring. They are also working with the School Garden Network to connect with elementary schools in the area as part of a service learning project.

These young ladies are harvesting the last of their warm season crops having heard about the frost predicted for the coming night. Master Gardener Mentor Stanly Corbin is also working with Mr. Barnard and the Gardening Club at Grimsley. We will keep you posted as their garden based service learning work progresses!
