In the Gardens...

2010 has been a great season for school gardens. So far this spring, garden beds have been built at Lakeview Public School...

AY Jackson...

Woodroffe PS...



Devonshire PS...



and Youville Centre for Young Mothers.




Thanks to the Youth Eco Internship Program, I have had the pleasure of visiting all the school gardens to do lots of activities with students. We planned the gardens, studied soils, & planned for harvest.

We began early in March when it was chilly outdoors.

Starting seeds for our gardens,

Sprouting alfalfa & mung beans to eat,


And watching seeds grow. We learned about germination and the needs of plants.
At Elmwood, at Cambridge, Woodroffe PS. At Woodroffe HS & Mutchmor & at Heritage Academy...


Everyone is proud of their gardens...
Les maternelles à Trilles des Bois sont fiers de leur jardin!




And the Grade 11s at Woodroffe HS

Keep up the AWESOME work everyone.
