The P.C.I.S. Garden Club is made up of
Red Team students who
are interested in improving the school grounds. The club is in it's sixth year,
and each year we have constructed a new garden. Last year, the club received
a grant from the National Gardening Association, who donated
over 500 bulbs! This was in addition to the over 600 bulbs that were ordered
through the science department and the Home-School Association. We can't wait
to see the results in spring of 2001! Red Team science classes were also part
of an experiment to see the effects of Bay
State Organic tm fertilizer and soil moist crystals on the growth of red
tulip bulbs. This year, each class planted tall, late flowering tulips, varying
the number of soil moist crystals. Below are some pictures of some of the gardening
club members in action.

Last year the gardening club was honored
to be selected to produce a painting that will be displayed at the National Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C.
this spring. Our group members combined their efforts to produce a picture with elements
from many students. Only 300 paintings were selected nationwide. One student, Evan Flaherty, was chosen to paint the composite picture using acrylic paints.
Check out his masterpiece below:
