Growing Up Organic's school gardens are being funded again this year by a limited edition coffee blend being created by and sold at Bridgehead coffeehouses.
The Growing Up Organic Blend was launched on Earth Day, April 22, 2010. Every pound of coffee sold will generate $2 for the development of school food gardens in neighbourhoods in which there is a Bridgehead location. In addition to financial support, Bridgehead is encouraging its employees to work with schools on garden construction and maintenance.
Earth day was a great kick off for school gardens this year. We celebrated Bridgehead's funding by constructing 6 raised garden beds at Woodroffe Avenue Public School. We used recycled logs from Alpenblick Farm to build not only 6 raised beds, but also to create seats for an outdoor classroom! What a beautiful addition to the schoolyard.
With the help of students...
parents....
and Bridgehead volunteers...
We built...
Added soil...
And even planted some seeds...
It was a sight to see!!!
