After School Action Program-JMG

our goal is:

To Grow Good Kids!

This Semester the JMG group will be focusing on:

• Leadership- teaching lessons themselves
• Growing vegetables and fruit to cook in the culinary arts class (they would like to grow tomatoes, strawberries, garlic, carrots, onions, etc.)
• Receiving their JMG Certification

JMG has a idea to help out are school it is like a project we are trying to reshape the front of the school also in the back in are garden. This semester the Benold Butterflies have spread their wings. Our Junior Master Gardener Group at Benold Middle School is flourishing! Currently we have 12 Junior Master Gardeners who will be certified at the end of the semester.

We are planning two large projects for this semester. In one of these projects we plan to make the front of our school more presentable. It is a high traffic area that’s has lots of students moving through there. We want to create eco friendly ways to improve that area.

 In the other project we are trying to regrow our garden that was built by the Williamson County Master Gardeners last year. With the long summer and NO RAIN!! we have to replant our garden.

Our JMG group meets Thursdays at Benold Middle School from 4 to 6 pm and we are always looking for help.
