POLK CO. MG’s Planting Day May 7
Eastside Elementary School in Rockmart located at 425 Prospect Road is currently building an Outdoor Learning Center. We are incorporating Georgia native plants into a 4 acre wooded area along a gravel 476’ pathway. Clearing of the land and of the non-native species has already begun in the area, picnic tables and benches will be added to make multipurpose for every grade level and subject matter. Curriculum will be changed or amended for each subject matter in order to bring the classroom outdoors giving the student a 360 degree view of habitat, wild life and plant life in the subjects of science, math, history, math, and language arts for grades K-5. We will be installing plants on Saturday, May 7th with Keep Polk Beautiful as in the Great American Clean Up Project. We would like to invite ALL Master Garders and Garden Lovers to come Join Us. Breakfast Served at 8:30. Work Hours 9-Noon Lunch and Entertainment at Noon. If any garders have native species to donate, please bring those along with your tools. If you have questions, please contact: Tina Lanier, Project Chair/Master Gardner tdlanier@att.net
