Master Gardener Trish Bradshaw demonstrates the proper plant watering method to students in Meadow View’s Garden Club.

It’s grown like a weed. The Meadow View Garden Club welcomed more than 70 students to its initial meeting of 2013.

Over the next several months kids will learn how to grow plants, care for them and finally reap the harvest.

Under the direction of Master Gardener – and Meadow View Educational Assistant – Trish Bradshaw, the school’s garden club grows larger each year.

Kids will be getting down and dirty doing plenty of digging and planting in the school garden, and they’ve already been encouraged to begin planting at home.
