The Master Gardener team currently working at these sites include: Carolyn Booker, Carol Sagin, Andrea Vettori, Mary Ellen Post, Maryanne Seifert and Rachele Aquilla. These Master Gardeners need YOUR help to continue to grow with the youngsters and maintain a weekly scheduling of lessons from April through October. The foundational work is completed and new volunteers will have an easy time settling in and orienting themselves with the group. The team has finished the work of lesson planning – the curriculum was designed by the Master Gardener team to include Extension materials, recognized by the state for its excellence. A terrific relationship has been fostered with the Club administrators and teachers to ensure children’s participation and maintenance of the gardens. And, there are resources established for tools and supplies for whatever is needed to help the children learn.
