Please describe your garden, is it raised beds, in the ground, do you have a greenhouse?
Over the past 2 years, our Grade 7 classes have worked on year-long projects to design, build and maintain a community garden to address our previous school-wide themes of sustainability and growth. This school year's themes of Kakyosin (Being observant and aware of your environment), Ihpipototsp (Purpose for being here) and Pommotsiiysinni (To transfer something to others) will be a part of our community garden project. Students will plant seeds and harvest using our grow tower and in the late spring will transplant plants to the community garden.
