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.
