lockportlegend.com life & arts the lockport legend | May 16, 2019 | 23 Kelvin Grove Nature Club expands with inaugural market Mary Compton Freelance Reporter A few years ago, Kelvin Grove School teacher Christie Soulian would look out her classroom window at an unused piece of land near the playground and imagine it being a special place for her students: a garden. And with that garden came the inception of the Kelvin Grove Nature Club. “I put in a letter of interest for the Nature Club,” Soulian explained. “We started with the fourth- and fifth-graders. They were so excited to have a club. The students who started this are now sophomores in high school.” Taking a walk behind the school, one finds a small patch of fenced-in land. Four raised garden boxes dot the lot, and there also is a rain barrel. Soulian, who has taught at Kelvin Grove for 16 years, sees Nature Club participants learn responsibility as well as other life skills. “They learn how to be helpful to the school and other kids,” Soulian said. “This is taking ownership of something that some kids miss out on. This gives the students a sense of accomplishment from start to finish. When we first talk about foods such as growing tomatoes, I’ll hear a student say they don’t like tomatoes. When they see it on the plant, they planted it, they watered it, pulled weeds and cared for it, not only do they want to eat it, they love it.” Depending on the weather, the students go to the garden every week. “To get your hands dirty, Kelvin Grove School Nature Club members (left to right) Shelby Carpenter, Rebekah Ramirez and Jenna Muench examine items they made and recycled for the Nature Club Market. to be outside and watch and nourish, there’s a lot of lessons to be learned,” Soulihan said. In addition to taking care of the garden, the Nature Club held its first Nature Club Market on May 3-4. The students are attempting to raise money to purchase benches with the plastic milk jug caps they have been collecting. They are also looking to purchase other items, including updating the rain barrel setup, to increase functionality and beautify the KG garden. Brittany Schaller is the science and social studies teacher at Kelvin Grove. This year, she joined Soulian as co-sponsor of the Kelvin Grove Nature Club. “The students have been working very hard on making upcycled goods for us to sell at this first market,” Schaller said. “We are focusing money on updating our garden. We’ve collected the plastic bottle caps for three years. Part of the funds raised will turn the melted bottle caps into a bench.” While Schaller spoke, fourth- and fifth-graders took care of neighborhood families walking up to purchase items such as plant markers, handmade sugar scrubs, stamped wooden clothespins and more. More than 300 plants were donated by Nolan and Sons Greenhouse of Homer Glen for the Nature Club Market. “This has been amazing, seeing the students own the things that they’ve made,” Schaller said. “When a lady was buying a reusable shopping bag, I heard one of the students tell her ‘I made that one, I’m so happy you like it.’” Lockport resident Trevor Buday is a fifth-grader at the school and has been involved in the Nature Club for two years.

Photos by Mary Compton/22nd Century Media “I like being involved in the club because we do a lot of activities with the public in the garden,” Buday said. “I like planting the tomatoes because you get to eat your own tomatoes that you grew. This is so important because food is getting more expensive. Here, we get to grow our own food. I eat a lot of healthy food so now I have a garden at my house. You get to also experience growing your own food instead of buying it.” Other students have gotten involved in some way. In the cafeteria, students have been composting to prevent organic waste from going into landfills and to create nutrient rich soil to use in the garden. Kilie Billings, also a fifth-grader who lives in Lockport, has enjoyed her time in the Nature Club. “I had a lot fun this year,” Billings said. “We’re doing this upcycle Kelvin Grove teacher Brittany Schaller (left) goes over various plants with Nature Club members Sam Dorion (middle) and Kilie Billings. market to raise $1,000 for a bench. We also made a mural in the school made out of bottle caps. Recycling is very important because it reduces the amount of trash.” Billings helped make the items that were being sold at the market. “I put the sayings on the pots; one was ‘be inspired and be brave,’” she said. “We all work together here. Teamwork is very important. Recycling and helping the earth is really important too.” To donate to the Kelvin Grove Nature Club, checks made out to Kelvin Grove with Nature Club in the memo can be dropped off at the school. The club also accepts volunteers who wish to donate their time in the garden.
