Utah Associated Garden Clubs Dragons Sow Seeds of Learning in Holladay By Geoff Ellis, Past President of the Utah Associated Garden Clubs
For almost a decade, the students at Howard R. Driggs Elementary in Holladay, Utah have had the opportunity to learn hands-on what nature is about and where our food comes from. The Driggs Dragons Junior Garden Club was the brainchild of Connie MacKay, a retired teacher and former president of the Utah Associated Garden Clubs. She has a passion for gardening and loves working with children. Inspired by materials from the
National Garden Clubs, she tried to start a children’s gardening program at an elementary school on the west side of the valley.
