Harvesting and creating a yummy meal from the crops you grow in a school garden is beyond satisfying, especially with students who cook and eat them all!

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

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
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!

Power bowls with quinoa and cous cous, fresh veggies, citrus vinaigrette and we couldn't make enough fried butternut squash! One non veggie student only ate the squash! Day 4 of the Edmonds Cooking Clases 😊🥕🥒🍅🔪
A humble bowl of veggie soup made with Autumn veggies, flavored with herbs from the @edmondsSD41 school garden by one of the 4 individual groups of Gr. 6/7 students. Very proud and impressed with this new group of Sprouting Chefs 😊 @burnabyschools #schoogardens #edibleeducation
