Vegetable and Herb Stall Thank You's

We hope you had a chance to visit the Vegetable and Herb Stall held last Friday. The stall featured fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden as well as Organic Veggie Greenhouses, Seed Packets and Grow in the Bag Herb Kits from our latest fundraiser “Lets Get Growing.” Thank you to Mrs. Slade. Mr. Holloway and the students of Grade 3/4; the students harvested and packaged fresh silverbeet, garlic, sage, rosemary, jonquils and lavender, and in some cases brought in fresh produce from home gardens! Thank you also to the Community Garden for contributing some fresh produce including rhubarb, leeks and broccoli. Finally thank you to some special Grade Prep/1 helpers in setting up the stall and to stall organizers, Di Gillick-Thompson, Tracy Raby and Cynthia Scherer. We are pleased to share the stall raised over $250 for the school’s kitchen and garden programs!

If you missed out, don’t worry, we hope to organize another stall this year. You can also still purchase Organic Veggie Greenhouses, Seed Packets and Grow in the Bag Herb Kits from our latest fundraiser “Lets Get Growing.” Due to such a great response, we have extended the deadline to submit orders until Friday, August 20th. Order forms are available from the school office or from the blog entry below on the Living Fundraiser.
