Farm Roots Programme
Farm Roots Programme
In July 2016 we donated to the new Farm Roots programme offered by Delta School District to Grade 10,11,12 Students. To learn more about the program, visit http://www.deltasd.bc.ca/content/programs/farmroots
In September 2016, 23 students from grades 10 to 12 started in the program accomplishing much in their early days. A half-acre was tilled and prepared for spring planting and they designed and built raised garden beds for over-wintering crops. They are learning about crop choices and many other aspects of farming in addition to their regular academic studies. Over the winter they delved into their Independent Studies projects and worked on indoor projects such as building composts and worktables. In December they made Christmas boxes. Currently they are getting ready for their spring planting by studying crop planning and designing seed starter systems and cold frame beds.
