The New Roots Youth Group are taking applications for the 2nd annual Summer Garden Club on the corner of Fig and Randolph beside Rayfield’s Pharmacy.
The club begins Thursday, June 20. Youths 6-12 can sign up for the free program, organized by volunteers from the youth recreation department of the Town of Cape Charles, Cape Charles Rotary, Eastern Shore Master Gardeners, and Northampton 4-H program.
The NRYG Summer Garden Club meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and offers hands-on vegetable gardening, composting, and learning from garden gurus.
Children can attend the entire program or select from the weeks focused on an area of interest they may have (insects, butterflies, birds, etc.).
This year the NRYG participants will be running their very own farm stand on Thursday at the garden site. [Read more…]
