End of Summer Update








Whew, what a summer! Thanks to a bit of wet weather and a collection of incredible volunteers who came to the school on their vacation and watered, the PW Community Garden has had a wonderful summer harvest. We had abundant crops of lettuce, kale, carrots, strawberries and radishes. Our little orchard produced lots of apples, and while most are still too small to eat, I had the privilege of enjoying a delicious gala apple picked right off the tree! As we prepare for yet another year of school, the PW Garden Club is looking forward to another great year of plants and gardening. Our fearless club leaders of last year, Khorshid and Emma, have both moved on into post-secondary education (good luck guys!), and have passed leadership of the club to myself (Danielle) and Jordan. We are looking forward to helping our garden and community grow!
