The second meeting of the
Wawanosh Life Skills "Grow
Your Own" club took place
on Monday, March 28, 2016
at the Jefferson home start-
ing at 9:30 a.m.
As members were arriving
the books were handed out
and new members were
welcomed.
To get to know one
another, members and lead-
ers went around the room
saying their name, school,
and how many years they've
been in 4-H. The meeting
was then opened with the
4-H pledge. As an intro to
the club members took part
in a game of charades about
gardening tools.
Members were quick to
guess the various tools like
shovels and watering cans.
Being warmed up from
charades, the election of
officers took place. It was
decided that the President
would be Maisy Jefferson,
Vice President would be
Gayle McIlhargey, Press
Reporter would be Loretta
Higgins, Attendance
Recorder would be Deanna
Haanstra, Cover Designer
would be Abby Robinson,
and variating secretaries.
The leaders then had the
members turn to the club
schedule and briefly
explained what we would be
doing at each meeting.
Maisy led the club in roll
call which was " Name a
fruit, vegetable, or herb. Is it
grown in Ontario? Is it
grown locally?" Answers
varied from carrots to sweet
corn. Mary Ellen read the
welcome and following that
members completed a clas-
sification chart of various
fruits, vegetables, and
herbs.
Next, the club discussed
some of the advantages of
gardening like having fresh
food, cheaper food, and get-
ting exercise. Mary Ellen
then talked about and
showed members some of
the tools of the trade for gar-
dening. Now knowing the
basics of gardening mem-
bers were told about the pro-
jects to be completed by the
end of the club. Members
were introduced to the glos-
sary of the book and then
members enjoyed a snack
provided by Mary Ellen.
After snack members cre-
ated Bee Boxes for the Wing -
ham Community Garden.
The meeting was closed
with the 4-H motto. The next
meeting is May 7, 2016 at the
Wingham Community
Garden.
