YOUTH PROGRAM
The Riverside Garden Club hosted its annual event for fifth-grade students from North Mianus School, providing a day of exploration and education at Binney Park. The program featured various activities led by experts, including a hike with Dr. Greg Kramer, Greenwich’s Tree Warden, who educated students about native trees. Paula Wolf, Connecticut's State Apiary Inspector, demonstrated bees and honeycombs, while Dabney Bowen from Call of the Wild discussed turtles and reptiles, showcasing a baby raccoon.
A scavenger hunt around Binney Pond was a highlight, where students identified local plants and animals using a reference sheet. This program originated as a substitute for a canceled Washington, DC trip during the COVID pandemic, and has since successfully continued for North Mianus fifth graders. The Riverside Garden Club recently concluded its 106th year with a luncheon recognizing members for their contributions to the club’s initiatives.
