Program Information

The Garden Club started at Dillard Elementary four years ago. The purpose of the club is to integrate healthy eating habits into the lifestyle of elementary-aged students. The students are taught how to plant, care for, and harvest fruits and vegetables. The students are also shown how to incorporate these items into their daily diets with healthy recipes.

The overall goal of the Garden Club is to introduce students to gardening, conservation, protection of wildlife, recognition of plants, trees, and shrubs, basic flower arrangements, and a love and appreciation of nature. Mentors teach children to channel  greater self-expression, dignity, integrity, and knowledge of their environment.

Volunteers are welcome to participate. The Garden Club meets on Thursday after school for one hour.

Goods may be donated. Please contact us. 954-527-0090
