Hi, all, I have a Green Teens Club here in Highland Park. We do not meet regularly but we have done some successful projects: Like Emily, we also partnered with a local organization, Edible Gardens, and they showed the teens how to make a raised bed from recycled pallets. We planted some flowers, herbs, tomatoes, and cucumbers. At the end of the summer we made gazpacho and brought it to the food pantry and gave it away to people with a copy of the recipe. We also gave away just the produce which in the long run was a better idea, as far as giving away goes. We did enjoy making it. We are hoping to expand our garden this year and doing composting on the library grounds. The whole community got to watch our garden grow. My favorite project last year by far. I was not a gardener, but I am now! Very easy to do... Some of you may recall we were trying to do an offsite project that involved digging and sawing and was a project better suited to 4-H or recreation so we backed off. The garden is on-site. It is beautiful and it's useful. We held a composting workshop here in the Fall led by some local Master Gardeners. Teens were not so interested but we got quite a few adults. Our town has an Earth Day celebration and the Green Teens had a table there. We made crafts from recyclable materials and had a nice display. Earth Day seems like a good place to start. Susan, I'd like to talk to you about some films we can show here. I'll email you off-list. I love this idea and we may get some cross-over from our Teen film club. Speaking of.... Our 3rd Annual Teen Film Festival is Feb 7th at 2 pm if anyone wants to attend. Quite the smaller scale than Princeton's, but all films are made by HP teens and starring local talent. We will post them to the web after the festival so you can see them if you can't make it. Hope everyone is well. Sorry to miss today's meeting. Hope to see you all in Feb.
