DESCRIPTION
The Jr Gardeners Environmental Enrichment Program is held for all 5th graders in the Plymouth Public Schools each year. This program is chaired by Geri Williams and other club volunteers to teach the students what their role is in protecting their environment which includes trees and leaf identification, pine trees, ecology, water sources, and conservation, to name a few. One school each year is selected to celebrate Arbor Day. This year, Cold Spring Elementary School was selected. Students were given a pine sapling and helped by other club volunteers to plant them in a pot, The tree was donated and planted on the school grounds by the town DPW. All other 5th grade classes received sapling to plant at home. One teacher gave us a picture of the tree after she planted her sapling 10 years ago. Also included with the pictures is a look at the 1000 daffodils Club members planted last year at the Life Care Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center.
