rain and sun- what more could you ask for?

Hello to Everyone, from the Marc Garneau Collegiate Team,

We had the "opening" of our vegetable garden this past Tuesday, June 3. The sun came out briefly for the hour that it took to have a small thank- you ceremony with some food and drink for about 12 guests and then the overcast sky and rain came back. I took the rain and the hour of rain-free time as an omen of good things to come. The creation of the veggie garden has been a learning process with several challenges. I'll write more after exams, post some pics and look forward to reading more about others' experiences and shared information. Thanks to Lovelle San Gabrielle, from Public Health, who came to take pics. I'm off to mark the last set of essays.

Waiting for Soil

Hi everyone,
Our school is still in limbo. We are waiting to find out if we can get free soil to start our garden. Meredith has just written city councillors to ask on our behalf. We really can't start the project we envisioned until this is arranged. The whole process has been a bit disappointing.
We are glad to hear everyone else is well underway. Maybe we'll be at that point in September.
Have a great summer!
Rosa

Growing our garden projects

Hi everyone, it's been a slow and steady build up to the garden season and I am happy to see that the majority of the gardens are in place and the rest are well on their way.  I thought this would be a good time to get the blog up and running and I hope you feel comfortable using it to share pictures, stories, questions and more throughout the coming months. The blog can host up to 100 authors so please feel free to sign up other committee members, students, teachers and anyone else contributing to your school gardens.
