SCHOOL YARDS
Our goal is to engage learning communities and families; to share knowledge, skills, and create an inclusive community around shared gardens. This project promotes sustainability in schools by developing and maintaining green spaces such as food and vegetable gardens. This program is designed to educate and foster an appreciation among children about how food is grown, how to eat healthily and how to care for our natural environment. So far we have four established school gardens under this project, at St. Christopher’s Catholic Elementary School, Lincoln Centennial Public School, EI McCulley Public School Garrison Road Public School.
