LYNCHBURG (Hill City MGA) Al Thompson |
The Perrymont Elementary School children spent time getting their
hands dirty with the Hill City Master Gardeners (HCMG) recently by planting
bulbs along the school’s Nature Trail.
Two hundred bulbs, won from the National Gardener’s Association by
HCMG, were planted by the kindergartners.
The bulb planting is a continuation of the development of the Nature Trail
that was a project started after winning a grant last year from Project
Learning Tree. Up next for the
children is the planting of native plants. Dave Close visited the HCMGA‘s General Meeting this month and spoke to
the Master Gardeners. topics included
Master Gardener College, MG volunteering, and a Q & A session. Dave was rewarded for his contribution
with lunch at one of his favorite eating places. For more information on the activities with the elementary children
