Thanks to our wonderful Sam, and to the David Robitaille Professorship for a grant to the Orchard Garden

We want to offer a public acknowledgement and heartfelt 'thank you' to the David F. Robitaille Professorship in Mathematics and Science Education and to the current David Robitaille Professor, Dr. Cynthia Nicol, for their kindness in offering us a grant that will assist in the hiring of a student to be the 'guardian of the garden' for the summer of 2018 -- and beyond into the 2018 W1 and W2 terms.

Big thanks to Sam Puddicombe, who has filled the role of 'guardian of the garden' with intelligence, grace and humour and lots of energy this past year! Sam will be graduating soon, and we wish him all the best in his upcoming adventures on Salt Spring Island.
