ROSEY GIRLS YOUTH GARDEN CLUB
The Rosey Girls Youth Garden Club (grades 3 through 6) meets monthly at the Raleigh Girls Club. Based on guidelines of the Garden Club of North Carolina, we seek to inspire our girls with a life-long love of gardening and the natural world, not only to improve and maintain our environment but also to share the sheer fun of “digging in the dirt".

Along with RGC volunteers, the students will replant a garden around a small pond; study butterflies and bees and why they are important; and study the science behind fall leaves - why they change color and fall off. In the spring, we will plant flowers that the students start from seeds in their Butterfly Garden.
