Hi it’s Staci here, the Little Sprouts Coordinator.
Our little garden helpers have been busy having fun learning about what they need to grow their own gardens! The parents and educators of Revelstoke should be so proud of what they have been teaching their kids. It has been incredible to hear how many of you have gardens at home or at school and are including your kids in the process. They are so bright and their little faces light up when I tell them they can grow their own food, and they know they were the ones that helped their seeds grow that we planted.
In May and June, we got to get our hands dirty and have them plant their own veggie seeds either to take home, or some classes got to come on a field trip to the Downtown Community Garden for them to be transplanted where they will be able to check in to see them grow. We got to explore how plants are a lot like people in the way that they have different parts in their bodies that help them take in water and nutrients and stand up tall.
I hope you will come check in on their little sprouts during the summer and watch them grow. Happy gardening and say hi anytime you see me tending to the Downtown Community Garden across from Main Street Café.
