Last week a couple of our gardeners had the honour of sharing what they learned about seed sowing to a group of primary students at the local school.
We arrived early to fill containers with soil and distribute them to different tables. Working in pairs mostly, each group planted a different native, pollinator-friendly plant.
They have been learning about pollinator gardens for a while now, so they were very excited to sow some seeds today. Back in December, the students had collected enough single-use yogurt containers, pop bottles and clear clamshell packaging for today’s activity. We also brought extra seeds for them to attach to a worksheet we had prepared.
We introduced the importance of growing pollinator friendly gardens with a story, which P.L. read to the class.
