Annual Harvest and Closing of the Gardens

We had a lovely completion to our 2019
St. Cecilia gardening season this year!

We had 20 classes come out and help parent volunteers harvest all the crops that we grew this year.  In year's past, we have given some of the harvest to each class to explore.  This year, because we grew primarily root vegetables, we knew we'd have a good harvest - so much food that we wanted to make sure that it went to individuals who needed it most.  So the kids were awesome to not only harvest the vegetables but also help sort and package them up so that we could donate it to 
Parkdale Food Centre.  

Thank you again to all the parent volunteers, educators and administrators that continue to make this project possible.  We are looking for new garden leaders for the next growing season - if you are interested or curious about helping to keep this project going, please don't hesitate to email at stceciliaschoolgardens@gmail.com
