The size of the boulevards is too big for us to tend to (as many of the volunteer gardening parents have 'older' kids now). Libby has done a good job of removing lots of prickly Nootka Rose from the east side of Ontario street - thanks Libby!<br />

Be on the lookout for this spring anenome which is an early bloomer by the bench on Ontario Street.<br />
If you would like to garden on the boulevards (or pick one), or know a neighbour interested in caretaking one of the boulevards, or become the Wolfe PAC liase with the City of Vancouver, contact Tarmara at tamaraelke@me.comGarden Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778737451466803762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624450940595471390.post-74652001253694488032016-02-24T19:23:00.004-08:002016-02-24T19:23:53.060-08:00Master Gardener Project ClosedParent Volunteers Wanted<br />
<br />
Spring is already pushing up the bulbs on the Green Street Boulevards!<br />
Before we know it, its time to get the seedlings started.<br />
<br />
This year we need parent volunteers, interested teachers to take on a Garden Bed.<br />
If a parent wants to participate in the Friday after school garden club, let us know.<br />
<br />
In 2016 , we have an opportunity to join with SPEC (Society for the Preservation of Enviornental Conservation) who has worked with numerous VSB Schools for years. <br />
<br />
Despite heroic efforts of Dawn Dunkerly, Libby Taylor, Laura McCann, Julia Steward and a few others, we did not have enough parent involvement to keep the Master Gardener project growing. Thanks to everyone who helped out - the gardens were full last summer.Garden Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778737451466803762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624450940595471390.post-65428001525375568982015-12-04T09:48:00.001-08:002015-12-04T09:55:23.655-08:00Wood gone to a good home<div style="text-align: center;">

Recently, the Wolfe Girl Guides went to Tupper and made amazing Insect Hostels.<br />
<br />
Tupper is taking the wood for garden construction - they made our planters in the teachers parking lot and were installing at Carnarvon last week. Thanks, Russ Evans, you are amazing!<br />

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.<div>

Sadly, we've had lots of vandalism this past year. Grade 8 and 9's have been breaking glass, starting fires, and generally leaving the place a mess. We have leftover wood from our recent build and have removed it. If you have a use for it, please let us know. Tamara</div>

The annual party in October invites over 500 community gardeners. Anyone is welcome to volunteer and help rake, prune, plant, sweep gravel or tidy up garbage on any day (since we all walk by it regularly :-) Rakes are kept in the maintenance room and we have plenty to go around. Even snowshovels work to keep the streets safe and teachers are welcome to bring their classes outside<br />

<br />
Did you know?<br />
Sunflowers are actually dozens of actual flowers, all gathered together in a group. The outside petals are striped as they are made from several flowers 'joining hands' to create a petal around the other flowers.<br />
<br />
Every fall, they drop seeds. Birds and squirrels eat them and drop a few seeds as well. We have only planted this particular Green Street garden once, but every year, new plants grow. Even in our dry summer, they were able to survive. Perhaps we have a mystery watering elf?<br />

We have catmint, russian sage ("magnificent plant") and bulbs from VanDusen. Up to 200 bees have been seen and heard here at one time. Ask gently, and they will let you pass as they are quite focused on gathering nectar - their sugar water that gives them energy to fly and collect nectar to make honey.<br />

There was a leak in the annex, and the VSB shut off the water, so the inventive volunteers brought water in wheelbarrows to the classroom planter boxes behind the annex. Well Done!<br />

<li>We have flax, quinoa, barley and oats growing - beautiful grains to look at and eat.</li>
<li>Peas and radishes are ready, potatoes are popping out and rainbow chard is glowing</li>
<li>sunflowers are coming up strong and with regular watering will be great come September</li>
<li>Pizza ingredients are coming along: chives, tomatoes, sage, peppers</li>
<li>Pollinator friendly plants like borage and Phacelia are keeping our pollinators pleased</li>

Did you know? watering is important for plants to produce nectar. Without nectar, no bees and without bees, no pollination which would mean no food to eat. So even in dry times, watering plants helps our local beecosystem.Garden Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778737451466803762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624450940595471390.post-16819331802253546922015-06-11T07:09:00.001-07:002015-06-11T07:09:40.066-07:00Last Friday Garden ClubOur pizza garden is still growing, but we'll have some already made to share with our keen young gardening friends.
