Garden Club

Lincoln Elementary is proud to provide the opportunity for students to learn the important life skill of gardening! Garden Club typically runs from May-October, with plenty of family and community involvement throughout the summer months. During Garden Club, students learn about seeds, plants, soil, bugs, watering, and the many benefits of growing their own food! This is a great Project Based Learning opportunity for your child. We look forward to having your child in this afterschool program.

The Lincoln Garden Club sponsors a variety of hands-on gardening experiences for our school community.

  • Provides students the opportunity to participate in garden-related activities in conjunction with our Lincoln Elementary School Community. We have special guest presenters helping us learn more about pollinators, growing your own veggies, irrigation and other garden topics. We have parents that are leaders in our program who assist with the knowledge of the garden beds, supervision, and mentoring our young gardeners. There are also hands-on experiences planting, digging, watering, harvesting and tasting our garden plants.
  • We work to plant and maintain the learning garden throughout the year so that students can come work the dirt, harvest the food, and then sample their garden produce. Produce is also given to the cafeteria to use in school lunches as well as given out to students and their families.
  • The Garden Club also sponsors special events every year. Our Salsa Party is planned for mid-summer in the Lincoln Garden. We will share in chips and salsa made from our tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
  • We give out pumpkins to each classroom in the fall for class decorating. We finish the season by working in conjunction with Trinity Lutheran Church by cleaning up our garden beds and putting the garden “to sleep” at the end of season.

Many thanks to Trinity Lutheran for assisting us in the garden!
