Granny’s Kids Garden Club 

If you child is part of Granny’s Garden School at school, she is eligible to become a member of Granny’s Kids Garden Club.

The purpose of Granny’s Kids Garden Club is to encourage our students to take what they are learning in Granny’s Nature Gardens at school and putting it into practice at home and with their extended families.

Though membership in the club is free, parents must register for their children to participate in the after school and summer benefits of the club.  Club members will receive invitations to join Granny, her team and special guests in activities in the gardens after school and throughout the summer.

Each child will receive a birthday gift from Granny plus seeds, plants and other surprises to encourage gardening at home with their families.

Register your child today by sending an email with your child’s first name, grade and birthday – to Granny.
