In partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Department of Sustainable Agriculture, students embarked on an immersive journey into sustainable farming and gardening practices at the Garden City Lands. Under the guidance of dedicated teachers, they explored various aspects of sustainable agriculture through hands-on, experiential learning.
Active participation defined their days as they constructed dome structures using willow and dogwood branches, embracing traditional techniques while deepening their connection to nature. Their craftsmanship shone as they wove garden fencing with willow, contributing to the garden's overall sustainability.
Beyond construction, students played a pivotal role in preparing garden beds for planting, gaining insights into soil health and cultivation practices. This collaborative project not only equipped them with practical skills but also instilled a deep appreciation for the principles of sustainability. Their experiences stand as a powerful illustration of the importance of environmental stewardship in shaping a more sustainable future.
