Support = Green Light!

Over the past 5 years, the Wolfe Grounds Committee has received funds from

•  Vancouver Foundation

•  Toyota Evergreen

•  TD Canada Trust

•  Salt Spring Coffee

•  Home Depot donations

•  Think and Eat Green, UBC

•  Wolfe Parent Advisory Council (PAC)

  

Thank you to

1. Organizations for believing that kids, plants and education go together
2. Parents for going to all our events, like the Silent Auction 
3. Teachers who host classroom visits and lead Green Team
4. Students who are getting ready for the Walkathon!

Financial support is much more than money - it's a way of saying Go Green and make the world a healthy, integrated, tactile place with a connection to land, food and each other.

Mystery Elf

Ok, so we don't know the name of this plant.  

We think it's a weed, but some elves decorated it nonetheless.
We should let the elf know that winter is a long way off...

Everyone is welcome to work on the boulevards.  Hellebores are blooming on 26th.
Julia planted the prettiest stripiest crosuses.  Libby and the neighbour have successfully removed all the prickly plants from the small pebble pathway at 27th and Ontario - THANKS!

Our Wolfe PAC is the official City of Vancouver Green Street Community Garden Group.

Thanks Whole Foods!

We are in good company with other lower mainland and BC Schools who benefitted from the generosity of Whole Foods Whole Kids Foundation.  Check out this display at the Cambie store.  Next year our garden will look more like this one - only edible.

WE DID IT!

5 strong mamas wielding power tools, shovels and accompanied by 9 children can do a lot in 2 hours!  Now the teachers can use garden beds for their classrooms to learn their biology, botany and more.
We were recently gifted with 270 King Alfred Narcissus bulbs from VanDusen Botanical Gardens, so they might pop up here in the spring...

Where did the soil go?

One mound down, one more to go

Next step:  spread the compost mulch around the naturalized garden.

We do this every other year to amend the soil and keep the plants healthy.
