Community Earth Friendly Gardens Prof growing" PERTH COUNTY — It's almost harvest time at 20 area elementary schools. The schools, including .Usborne, McCurdy. and Stephen, are participat- ing in the Earth Friendly Gardens project which is in its second year. "It is time for the junior gardeners to see the results of all their hard work last spring," said the program's coor- dinator Lynda Rotteau. Students and their par- ents have been faithfully tending the gardens all summer. The goal of the the project is to expand the bio -diversity of the shool yard while teaching stu- dents how to grow food organically. The gardens are also dedicated to peace as part of the International School Peace Garden (ISPG) program. During the past school year Earth Friendly Gardens were sponsored by the Millennium Bureau of Canada. The Canadian Living Foundation at the - Children'$ Aid of Huron has also contributed $5,000 to the gardens. Administrators of the project hope the gardens are introduced to the rest of the schools in the Avon Maitland District and the Huron Perth Catholic school boards. This year the program is focussing on recruit- ing Perth County schools to participate. Huron County schools are still being welcomed to join. "The long-term goal of Earth Friendly Gardens is to influence parents and families to grow healthy food without the use of chemicals by hav- ing a garden in each of the 67 schools in our local school boards," said Rotteau. `Festival of Flowers' in Kirkton By Rhoda Rohde THAMES$OAD CORRESPONDENT THAMES ROAD - Joyce Elston of St. Marys visited )n Monday afterno ?ford, Bill and Rhoda tohde attended the irkton Horticulture ;lower Show at Kirkton- Voodham Community ;entre on Tuesday evening.
