The Youth Gardening Outreach Committee is proud two recognize three students at the TCAPS Montessori School on April 23, 2025, in Mrs. Allison Hall’s classroom. Susie Snyder and Suzann Grazul recognized the students from the first, second and third grades who participated in the Smokey Bear poster contest and had won first and second place awards for the entire State of Michigan which makes two of the students eligible to move on to the National Smokey Bear finals competing with the entire USA. The winners will be announced in mid-June.
Arbor Day Planting
A smooth service berry tree was donated by The Friendly Garden Club to the GTA Children's Garden for their garden on Arbor Day! The high school students from The Greenspire School helped participate in the planting! It was a great collaboration. This tree will serve as an educational tool to help inspire young people to become stewards of the land.
Blue Star Memorial Planting Update
The Blue Star Memorial was updated on Veteran's Day with members from the Traverse City Elks Lodge #323, The Friendly Garden Club, and help from The Botanic Garden to add red, white, and blue plants to the memorial site. The Blue Star Memoria program honors our men and women who served in the United States Armed Services.
