McHenry High School East Campus Garden Club

The students in the McHenry High School Garden Club, guided by members of the McHenry Garden Club, do seasonal planting in the pair of urns at the steps of the school’s Green Street entrance door.  Spring, Summer, Fall and Holiday plantings are done using supplies brought by McHenry Garden Club members.  The students also participate in other garden activities and outings.

May 2020 – Spring Urns

Member Laurel Mayer

Due to the COVID-19 virus, McHenry East High School was closed in May 2020 and high school garden club students were not attending class on campus.  So the urns were decorated by Garden Club members.  The theme and decorations were to recognize and honor the essential workers who have continued to serve us all during the virus.

The urns were decorated by members Edyta Greczek, Laurel Mayer and Diane Boedecker.  The decorations used were hand made by many club members.
