Garden club has evolved since its start. Originally, junior Brooke Baker was the founder as well as president with her cousin, sophomore Natasha Baker. The club took a brief break during the winter months, but it is soon coming back and bringing changes.

In a group message to the club participants, Brooke Baker said, “A friend of mine, Andrew Quantz, will be taking over Garden Club for the remainder of the year!

“I realized I had other pressing responsibilities so I am unable to continue being in charge, but I have faith that Andrew will be awesome and he has lots of ideas and organizational skills.”

Stepping into his new position as co-president, junior Andrew Quantz said, “I am excited to be taking over Gardening Club. I will also have Caroline Bruns helping me lead the club.

I have filled out the paperwork to get the club officially reinstated and will be passing it on to Coratiyill. We will keep the every other Friday meeting schedule and likely begin meeting in 2-3 weeks.”

The club was not previously inefficient, however now with two committed presidents, the gardeners are aiming to meet new goals.

Sophomore Josey Leach said, “My friend and I planted a pumpkin during the fall and the name of the type was Big Max so that silliness made it extra exciting. I want to plant more vegetables when we start up again and check on Max.”

New members are always welcomed and encouraged to join and garden whenever they desire. The planting, for the most part, takes place in the City of Montgomery’s green house across from the high school.
