My First Day At Horticulture Club

Today was my first day at garden club. After school, I stayed in my classroom, and we waited for other people to come. About 15 Classtopians came to the club. My little sister came, too. There were a few kids from another class that joined us. Once everyone was here, we started. First, we introduced ourselves to everyone, especially the new people we did not know. We said our names, and the reason we were here. After that, we got our journals. We were going to take notes in these.

We visited all of our gardens. We talked about what we needed to do. On Saturday, some volunteers cleaned up an area, or they mostly cleared up an area. There were a little bit of weeds left, but we would take care of those later. We started thinking about what we would put in that area. Maybe we would mount Orchids on the trees.

Then, we watered a garden. We wet the leaves (fronds) of a GIGANTIC fern. It was not extremely big, but it was the most biggest fern I have ever seen! This is a gift from our friend "The".

While  we were in a garden, my mom came to pick me up. I left at about 3:45, so there was still time left, but that was fine. I wonder what will happen next week at the club.

This is my journal

Good News, Good News

Our teacher is going to start a Horticulture club, after school. In horticulture club, we will garden.  Of course, I will join. I am really interested, and most Classtopians are interested, too. Five kids from another class will join us, and we plan to include a lot more people! Our teacher said that our family members can join, too. I will bring my little sister, who is in third grade. I hope that my little sister will get very interested in plants, and take over when I leave.

In the club, we will make our school more beautiful. We will make new gardens, and so much more. We will learn all about different types of plants, how to propagate from seeds, stems, and leaves. We will learn how to hybridize, and how to grow epiphytes on trees. We will also be able to take plants home. And the most important thing is that at the end of the year, we will have a PLANT SHOW.  Everyone will have their own plant that they are interested in, and will focus on that plant.

The very, very, good news is that our principal, MS.B, just gave us her approval for the horticulture club, while we were out doing PE! Our teacher gave her the flyers earlier this week, and we have been waiting for her approval. Ms. B put her initials, and that means we can start our club on Monday.

I am really excited, and I know that I will come to every meeting.
