A school courtyard is being transformed into a rich outdoor learning space thanks to a hands-on garden project. Seed potatoes have been planted, garden beds cleared, and plots carefully mapped out for spring planting. The activity brought together math, collaboration and environmental learning, as groups measured and divided the space before selecting and ordering their seeds.
To support the garden’s growth and organization, the class also created wooden signage through a wood burning activity, blending creativity with purpose. Throughout the process, the class explored the concept of reciprocity and the principles of the Honourable Harvest — including taking only what is needed, giving back, and showing care and respect for all living things.
