Committee proposes fall gardening class, eyes library and high-school agriscience partners
Summary
Members proposed a one-day fall gardening class (how to plant for spring blooms), reached out to the local garden club and discussed asking JWL high-school agriscience instructors or a local farmer to teach; timing aimed at September/October.
The committee discussed organizing a fall gardening class to teach residents how to plant in autumn so gardens look good in spring. “For a fall class… to talk about how to plant things in the fall so it’ll look good in the spring,” the Chair said.
Members reported outreach to the local garden club, which indicated a program committee would review requests, and suggested recruiting the high school’s agriscience instructors or local farmers as instructors. The Chair suggested partnering with the school’s horticulture teacher, Carolyn Jordan (spelled in meeting materials as "Carolyn with a k"), and noted the group might request either donations or charge a small fee depending on the garden club’s input.
Committee members agreed to solicit dates from the library and explore Saturday-morning slots at the Farmer’s Market pavilion and to follow up with the garden club once its programming committee responds.
