Wawanosh 4-H Club continues work at garden
Towards the future
Representatives from Trillium Mutual were on hand at a recent meeting of the Wawanosh
4-H Club, the Gardenin' Gang, at the Wingham Community Garden and presented the
group/garden with a grant for $2,000. Above are members of all three groups, who are all
smiles thanks to the grant. (Photo submitted)
Meeting seven of the Wawanosh
Gardenin' Gang was June 28 at
7 p.m. at the Wingham Community
Garden. As members arrived, they
quickly began weeding various parts
of the garden. While some members
continued to weed, other members
hilled potato plants. After 15
minutes, representatives from
Trillium Mutual came and took a
picture with the club in the garden.
When all the pictures were taken, the
club went back to their gardening
tasks.
Once the club finished most of the
weeding, they headed to Eileen's
house for the rest of the meeting.
Maisy opened the meeting with the
pledge and then led the club in roll
call which was: "Name a garden pest
and the harm it causes". Answered
varied from weeds like dandelions to
diseases like blight to animals like
skunks.
The club discussed information
about achievement and book due
dates. Eileen then led the club in
reading information about different
kinds of fruit. Eileen gave the club
riddles about fruits and the club
went around answering them. Next
members presented their club
projects. Gayle presented her plant
growing through a maze. Deanna
presented her weed collection of five
weeds. Loretta presented her
collection of 10 weeds and Maisy
presented her project of starting
plants inside a starter kit. Maisy
closed the meeting with the motto
and the club enjoyed watermelon
and juice provided by Eileen.
Meeting six of the Wawanosh
Gardenin' Gang took place at 7 p.m.
on June 16 at the Jefferson family's
home. Once all members had arrived
Maisy led roll call which was
"Quote an advertisement you have
heard or make up a slogan for selling
fruits, vegetables and/or herbs."
Some examples were "Good things
grow in Ontario" and "An apple a
day keeps the doctor away."
Next, the leaders reminded
members about meetings that
needed to be finished and then
moved onto the content in the book.
Members learned about different
pests like insects, diseases, animals
and weeds.
Mary Ellen then led the club in a
pest tour around her house and
gardens. After the garden check the
members picked strawberries out of
the garden and then brought them

group split up into two groups. One
group went to judge garden hats and

Members came back and in their
groups played a quiz game about

the game was finished the meeting
was closed with the motto and
members enjoyed a snack of
strawberries and ice cream.
