We started the day with a warm welcome to UBC Orchard Garden
and a tour of the Garden. After the great introduction to UBC Orchard Garden,
we discussed our CFE plans. We brainstormed ideas for our workshop and shared
goals in this CFE. I look forward to creating a cross-curricular workshop and
make our ideas come true.
After lunch, we walked to UBC Farm. We learned about the UBC
Farm and the children’s program is amazing! Local elementary schools come in for
field trips. Students plant their own seed and take care of their own bed. Children can learn about sustainable and organic agriculture and
how forests and farms work together to create a healthy ecosystem. We had a
productive afternoon working at UBC farm and planted our own potatoes.
We also learned a lot about how to start gardening and safety
procedures on a farm.
