It's been an honor to have been a part of this community and connected to many wonderful students! Celebrated our Cooking Class and Garden Club kids tonight, enjoying many of the crops we grew together in the garden and greenhouse too!
School gardens provide a growing number of opportunities. Read about a @CityofBurnaby Youth Environmental Award for a @BbyMountainSec student connected to her school garden work, and the benefits of a garden project at Royal Oak Alternate Program & more: ow.ly/A7Or50JFb5P
What has been the benefit of all this cooler weather and then some sun? Cool weather crops are thriving at Forest Grove. Harvesting and mindfulness lessons next week using the garden as a platform for deeper conversations 🥰
Full circle moment visiting the Burnaby Mountain Secondary greenhouse with the Forest Grove Elementary Garden Club today with our Alumni student Casey who herself visited as a young student 11 yrs ago now leading the tour! So proud! @socialsgoddess @BbyMountainSec @burnabyschools
Rainy weather is great for finding worms! Watch where you step on rainy days as the worms like to move from one location to another, stretching out to seek more nutrients. instagram.com/p/CdYq0vTrefS/…

2nd Week of Seed to Table classes. Forest Grove Elementary ✅ half way through the garden bins @edmondsSD41 ✅. All kinds of learning: biodiversity, bees & pollinators, compost, companion planting and most of all, patience and kindness 😊 – at Burnaby, British Columbia
We would also add teaching valuable techniques in growing and cooking your own food at a young age makes a difference too – at Burnaby, British Columbia
Our question is how are these developments off setting the cost of green spaces? How about supporting our school garden programs in the areas you build in? @BosaProperties @Concord_Pacific @ShapeProperties – at Burnaby, British Columbia

Starting our indoor seed Sprouting collaboration with the Burnaby Mountain Secondary Garden project, Forest Grove Elementary and @edmondsSD41 . Younger students have planted the seeds and the teens will care for them in their indoor greenhouse. So exciting!
School garden plans can begin in any season but the winter months provide good timing for several factors. This post will cover a few factors to consider including: frost dates and when to plant certain crops, seed inventories and old seed viabilities, th sproutingchefs.wordpress.com…
