Have a green thumb? Join the gardening club. BC has started its very first gardening club and had their second meeting on Tuesday April 8 in the General Science building. This club will hold meetings the 2nd and 4th of every month for anyone who is interested. The gardening club is excited to begin welcoming new members and starting future projects that work alongside with other clubs here at BC. The Renegade gardening club is for all students who have an interest in learning to grow everything from flowers to vegetables and is for anyone no matter what major they are studying. The club will also provide tools that could be necessary for the participation of this club and does not require any sort of expense to be made by members.

The Renegade gardening club has hit the ground running with plans for upcoming events that include Garden Fest and a competition at the Bakersfield Arc to help fund for disabled students. Hunter Moore, president of the Renegade Garden club states that they are most looking forward to the student involvement that is to come and the unpredictability of what endeavors the club will encounter. Moore stated, “Our vision, well at least my vision and goal is to have an inclusive club where students from all walks of life would be able to come together with a passion for gardening and bring different ideas and thought processes to it.”

Carolee Trimble, professor and advisor of the Renegade gardening club stated the club will cover wide varieties of all sorts of plants and horticulture, “It’s a little bit of everything, I know the students had a lot of interest in community outreach and kind of being an educational resource for the community as a whole and doing things as a club like garden tours and expanding their own knowledge.” Any students with interest in this club may also be able to view more information on the Renegade Garden Clubs Instagram; bc.rgc.
