CIVIC

Riverside Garden Club has partnered with Riverside School and North Mianus to do a number of events.  This year, on Earth Day April 22nd, the Riverside Garden Club was involved with both schools, with over 655 kids involved in the scavenger hunt.  With Riverside, working with the PTA, we ran both a scavenger hunt for K-5th and an educational event on Earth Day. Special thanks to Old Greenwich Honeyman and WasteFree Greenwich for helping make this event a success.

On May 27th, Riverside Garden Club, working with the PT, organized a field trip for the Fifth Graders to Binney Pond, where we had three educational events.  Dr. Kramer lead a hike through the Binney Park Forest where they discussed plants and trees in the woods. Tim Walsh, a marine biologist from Bruce Park, ran the turtle event. And the Garden Club ran a scavenger hunt where the kids learned about 42 different trees, plants and bushes planted around the pond.

Riverside Train Station Spring Clean-up also was on Earth Day this year. Volunteers from the community helped Riverside Garden Club members clean up both sides of the train station and spruce up the Pollinator Garden and the Japanese Garden.
