The club is open to all Medford children entering grades 2-6. It is from 9:30AM-11AM on the following five Wednesdays- July 15, July 22, July 29, August 5, August 12.

This year the children will focus on planting and learning to care for vegetables and herbs, including tomatoes, peppers, and basil. The club is led by Columbus School parent and science teacher Susan Schimdt, who will incorporate science lessons dealing with things like soil pH, composting, worms, and cooking.

The club is free but registration is required. Adult volunteers are also welcome to assist. For more information or to register, contact Susan Schmidt at smschmid@comcast.net or 781-396-8029.

This program is funded in part by the Medford Cultural Council.
