Kelseyville Kid’s Garden Club set to welcome new members PDF Print E-mail

Wow, another summer gone by in the blink of an eye.


The Kelseyville Kid’s Garden Club just enjoyed their annual campout at Finch Gardens where they rolled out the pizza dough and dressed it with pesto made from basil and garlic grown in their own garden as well as red peppers and squash also grown in their garden.


A group of garden club kids and volunteers sat down to a dinner of pesto pizza, pesto pasta and green salad with herbal vinaigrette before adjoining to the campfire for fresh peach cobbler and the vanilla ice cream that they learned how to prepare before dinner.


It’s amazing the things you learn sitting around the campfire with a lot of fourth and fifth graders. A good time was had by all.

 

September will bring a new season of gardeners into the club and we are very much looking forward to meeting them.

 

Our first undertaking is that of our annual fundraiser. The Kelseyville Garden Club Kids will be in front of Bruno’s Shop Smart every Saturday beginning until Sept 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. selling Dutch Garden spring bulbs.


The Kelseyville Kid’s Garden Club kids will return on Oct. 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to deliver all of the bulbs ordered during the sale.


If you, or someone you know, would like to join us on our adventure in the garden, we sure would love to hear from you.


The club meets every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. in the garden at Kelseyville Elementary School, 5065 Konocti Road. For more information call Helen Finch, 279-9400.

Thanks for sharing. In a world where many children (and adults) don't know where their food comes from, I am glad there is a place for people to pass on their knowledge (and wisdom) of gardening and nutrition from generation to generation. I don't know if people realize how important it is, these days, to be able to grow things and prepare things themselves from the ground up. My grandmother told me her garden was what saved her family during the great depression and not only learning how to garden but how to build a sustainable garden which provides nutrition as well as beauty is probably the best gift you can give someone. Thanks Helen.
