The native Oregon grape is pushing out beautiful yellow blooms. It's found from California to our own southwest coast. It is a known food source - no poisonous berries here - just good, tart jam making materials come the spring. It's also known as a favourite 'house' for the younger students to play underneath. Located in the naturalized area behind the annex, a unique feature at Wolfe.
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.
