About the Program:
Green Thumb Growers Guild is a horticultural education program that meets as part of the afterschool enrichment programs at Sidney Elementary School. Students who participate experience anything and everything having to do with growing and using plants (and fungi). The Green Thumb Growers Guild began in October 2013 with 15 members. We use the outdoor gardens behind the elementary, classroom space for crafting projects, the nature trail for collecting and observing, and the greenhouse at the High School for starting seeds and experimenting. Like the plants and gardens, we are growing as an organization.
