Grow Eat Learn Summer Activity Reflection

The Nourish program, Grow Eat Learn (GEL) kicked off its 2024 relaunch with a busy and exciting summer. Jess Ross, Project Lead, School Community Gardens, Iris Haynes, Summer Garden Assistant and other Nourish staff worked hard to design and deliver youth garden programming throughout schools and community. We were able to reach 35 school gardens with our various supports this year including field trips, garden workshops, revitalizing school garden spaces, a Food Forest Fundraising Garden Party and much more.

Over the winter and 2025 Growing Season, there will be more resources and supports available to ensure that school gardens across the province and Mi'kmaw Kina'matnewey can get growing. The following reflection will give you insights into the various programming activities we were developing and sometimes improvising in this experimental and learning Pilot Year for the Grow Eat Learn Program. To download a PDF version of the Grow Eat Learn 2024 Summer Activity Reflection, click here.
