moving soil
transplanting bronze fennel and sorrel
a bit of pruning...
An Ontario home north of King Ed donated some soil - we will be in between the house and the school. We have wheelbarrows and wagons and pruners and trowels.
Bring a shovel if you have one - and some muscle and sunglasses!
It's free, fun and a great way to work up an appetite for Sunday dinner
Pick up trucks welcome!

General Wolfe Elementary School Grounds Committee has had Green Street Boulevards, food gardens and indigenous species naturalized playspaces and outdoor landscaped classrooms. Whole Foods Whole Kids Foundation, Think & Eat Green and our own PAC have contributed to our activities. The Gardens have been part of Wolfe for 25 years and we need new parent volunteers to keep on growing.

The Sun is Coming...
The Vancouver Sun, that is... to do a story on happiness and our sunflower project.
Now, that's something to be happy about :-)
That, and our new 'Money Penny' plant had about 3 dozen babies.
And we found a 'snail grotto' of 14 snails in the bee and butterfly garden.
Build it and they will come!

Have you noticed the hallway near Ms Collin's class?

Hopefully you can see their iPad video they made about their apple a day challenge.

Heroes of All Ages
From Tupper to Wolfe
With the help of Grade 11's at Tupper and many Grade 7's from Wolfe, we unloaded wood for our garden bed design.
Well done, everyone!
Thanks especially to Russ Evans and Cyrus for suburb rope tying teamwork :-)
