The students in the Green Thumb Club have been working hard to get the garden ready. Master Gardener Donna Franklin coordinates the Green Thumb Club, consisting of 4th, 5th and 6th graders who give up a recess a week to help maintain the Garden. Donna also enlists community volunteers to assist her.
