Garden Club
Garden club meets Tuesdays from 2:45-4pm during the school year and is open to students of all grades.
Students should wear or bring clothes that can get dirty. The club meets inside when weather requires.
Questions? Contact Emily, eslambert@gmail.com .
Adults also have a garden club! We meet Mondays at 4pm—during fall, spring, and summer—to beautify the grounds. Join us!
The Kellogg Garden has won Chicago Excellence in Gardening Awards in 2018 and 2019. We have vegetable gardens, a peace garden, a strawberry patch, and a pollinator garden, among other beds. Students help maintain our park-like grounds. We weed by hand, use organic materials, remove invasive plants, and plant perennials and native plants. Thank you to our partners Big Green, University of Illinois Extension, Openlands, and the Chicago Community Gardeners Association.

The Kellogg Bees
Kellogg has two beehives, thanks to a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation. The beehives are located in the pollinator garden on the south side of the school and are maintained by a beekeeper from The Hive. The Kellogg bees are thriving and producing honey. We sold out of our first batch, so "bee" on the lookout for more coming soon. If you have any questions about the bees or are interested in beekeeping, contact Principal Overstreet at cwoverstreet@cps.edu .
