HSGC Work Party

The Hayhurst School Garden Council gathering over the President's Day holiday to build a couple of raised garden beds for the coming Spring planting season. All hands were on deck with Parents, Teachers and Students working hard for their future gardens.
    Thanks to Hopworks Urban Brewery for rounding up some old wine barrels to use as planter boxes for sweet peas for the students to plant next week and for donating some of their reclaimed wood for the raised beds. Also a big thanks to all of the parents and students who donated a dollar for our "Sweet Pea for Your Sweet Pea" fundraiser that went towards purchasing organic planting soil for the barrels.  Now it's time to plant and watch them sprout an grow!


Even the smallest of helpers took part.

The barrels were placed near the play area of the school so the kids could see their progress and enjoy them when the time comes.                                                                                        Nice work Owen and Zachery (and Bella too).
