The club created a school garden at Glen Taylor Primary School some years ago to support the school's teaching of environmental understanding and good eating practices. The students have taken to the project with gusto over the years and the most recent planting has just taken place with a number of members joining in with the students. The club has a long-standing relationship with the school across a number of activities including supporting their school camp. The school's principal is a member of St Johns Rotary. The picture shows just some of the gardens planted with spring-harvest crops.Youth and Young Adults
