Today, April 14th, 2024, is National Gardening Day. It was originally created by Cool Springs Press and was pronounced on the National Day Calendar in 2018. Its purpose is to raise awareness of gardening, to encourage people to start their own home garden, and for fellow gardeners to get together. We can use this holiday as a way to get a head start on Earth Day, which is coming up soon. National Gardening Day can be celebrated by joining the Gardening Club here at Rosemont, after school, on the Thursday before or after April 14th. They normally water their already-planted plants, and sometimes weed around the butterfly garden, but they have recently been working on getting the waterfall up and running again. Coincidentally, Mr. Andreas’s classes are doing their soil unit in science, and have begun planting beans to track their growth. This is an excellent way of growing a green thumb!
