Team Highlight - Green Thumb

The Green Thumb team takes care of all the perennial beds on GCC's campus and those beds contain 1150+ plants. They also plant and water all of the flower pots on campus. That's a lot of gardening!

The team offers a spring work day to launch the season, a monthly "Gardening Night" during the summer-fall season and members are assigned a bed and one week a month to make sure the bed is "tended."  Gardening Nights are the highlight of team's year together.  Working together, the team gets alot accomplished in a short period of time each month.  They also finish each Gardening Night with hot dogs, chips, fruit and cookies.  And none of the calories count because the team works them off in advance!

2008's team was 42 members strong and served many hours to keep our campus looking beautiful and honoring God with excellence.
