The Summer Garden Club is designed to engage families in our school gardens located at the L.B. Merrill School and Raynham Middle School. We invite local families to join us in the gardens for a summer filled with learning, outdoor activities, planting, and hopefully growing!

If you cannot make one of the above dates, that is not a problem! You can visit the garden any time your family is free to do so to check on your plants and care for your garden bed.
COST is FREE!
All ages welcome!

This program is generously funded by RaynWater STEAM and our local PTOs: Early Childhood Parent Organization (ECPO - Merrill School), LaLiberte Parent Organization (LPO), and the Raynham Middle School Parent Organization (RMSPO).
What kind of commitment is involved?
By joining the club, you are committing to trying to get your plants to grow, including consistent watering and weeding. We will help you make that happen!
What if we don’t have any gardening experience?
No problem - we will teach you!
What if we will be on vacation?
We hope that this community of family gardeners will help each other when this happens. Please feel free to let us know when you will be away so that we can water your plants during hot weather.
Is this a drop-off event?
No, this is a family event facilitated by RaynWater STEAM and children should always be accompanied by an adult family member. Our work in the garden is to guide you, but an adult family member is expected to take an active role.
