Free School Garden Talk at Garibaldi School

You are warmly invited to join with the parents of Garibaldi school to a free talk:


Growing Together in in the School Garden
 with Arzeena Hamir



Come to learn more about the role of school gardens in growing a just and sustainable food system for all. Hear about the joys of playing and learning with children in the garden. Gather with neighbours who want to  share food and garden traditions together.



When: Tuesday, March 15th from 7:15- 8:00pm.

Where: Upstairs in the library at Garibaldi School

Child-minding: Limited childminding is available for Garibaldi students. We're sorry we cannot provide child-minding for the wider community but grown-ups and older children interested in the talk are warmly welcomed.

Learning from the Garden is part of the 21st Century Learning talks. The 21st Century Learning Parent Education series is being co-sponsored by Garibaldi School and The Canucks Family Education Center.
