Green Teens
National Garden Club and Federated Garden Clubs of CT award winning youth gardening program at Trackside
The Wilton Garden Club and Trackside Teen Center team up annually to offer the Green Teens program for middle school students. The hope is to get more young people involved with creating and maintaining vegetable gardens, to teach youth about the importance of healthy foods, and to give back to the community. The produce grown is donated to the Wilton Food Pantry and the fresh flowers are cut and arranged for the local Senior Center. The program is open to youth, grades 6 and up. Led by experienced gardeners from the Wilton Garden Club, students participate in hands-on activities of designing garden beds, planting, maintaining, harvesting as well as learning how to cook with the produce grown in their gardens. There's also an opportunity for families and friends to work the gardens during the summer months. |
