Education Garden @ Daniel Webster Middle School

Agency: Daniel Webster Middle School

Description: Many of you may have grown up in a world full of trees, open fields, and public parks-or even just a backyard-where you had the opportunity to view nature at work. Children these days aren't so privileged, especially in Los Angeles. Join us as we create new plots, remove weeds and brush, and add new plants.

The Daniel Webster Garden was established to teach children growing up in an urban area about the environment. The Belmar Child and Family Center run the Daniel Webster Education Garden. The Center is a child guidance clinic that provides, among other forms of therapy, horticulture therapy. The Center and Daniel Webster Middle School share this Garden.

Note about rain: In case of rain the day before or the day of the project, the project will likely be canceled. You will receive notification if this is the case.

Volunteers for this project must be at least 5 years of age. Volunteers under the age of 18 will need to print out a minor release form for this project, have it signed by a parent or guardian, and bring the completed form with you to the project. Click here to download our Volunteer Agreement & Release for Minor Child. Pre-teens must be accompanied by a parent. Federal Law prohibits volunteers under the age of 13 from registering on-line. To register family members who are under the age of 13, contact the project leader directly.
