The Upper School Garden Club recently hosted their final Garden Work Party of the season, which included tending of the Nettie Coit Teaching Garden, a potluck, and live music from an ensemble led by Mr. Jack Armitage, Director of Program Scheduling and Mathematics faculty member! Club leader Len Glozman ’25 reflected on the Garden Club’s humble beginnings, when Ms. Tasha Urbanowski, MS 6th Grade Class Dean, walked by him and two friends during lunch outside one Friday afternoon four years ago. “She asked us if we wanted to help her garden for half an hour,” he said. “This morphed into a weekly tradition and ultimately led the three of us to officially propose the club to the Student Activities Board.”
Len continued that much has changed since then. “Now, the club is a vibrant community, a space for both hands-on learning and socialization.” The senior described running the club as “an incredibly rewarding experience,” one that he hopes many generations of D-E students will share. “It is my hope that the future leaders of the club will continue to expand the programming around the garden.” Way to Grow, D-E Garden Club!
