W. Houston Garden Club
(established August, 2000)
Garden Club collects used cell phones and printer cartridges through the Cartridges for Kids Program. The funds raised go towards seeds, plants, and garden items to help our community feed the hungry. All vegetables raised in our garden go to Good Shepherd Mission. Thank you for helping us raise money and help the environment through recycling. By collecting funds through Cartridges for Kids, Try2Recycle, and other donations Garden Club Members are helping keep their environment clean.
Mission Statement:
To provide the students of Samuel W. Houston Elementary School
with a learning experience which spreads throughout the community by engaging
in planting seed crops and flower gardening. This will provide a community
commitment which will continue long after the last crop is harvested.
Members who are nominated and still meet the guidelines will remain in the
Garden Club the following year until request to resign.
Goals for the year:
The goals of our club are to maintain a vegetable garden near S.H.E. campus, harvest the garden when necessary and donate harvested vegetables to the surrounding community of our school through the Good Shepherd Mission. Other goals for this year include maintaining bird feeders and squirrel feeders, participating in a wild bird count administered through Cornell University, germinating and planting flower seeds near our campus, maintain and plant new flowers in reading garden, and participate in Junior Master Gardener program by completing lessons during after school meetings to become State Certified by Texas A & M as a Junior Master Gardener.
Meeting times and days:
The Garden Club meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday's of every month except holidays.
