YOUTH PROGRAM
Riverside Garden Club has partnered with Riverside School and North Mianus Elementary School to do a number of educational events in the past two years. On Earth Day 2021, the Riverside Garden Club worked both schools, involving 655 kids in a horticulture 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, 2021, Riverside Garden Club, working with the PTA, 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.
