School-Community Gardens are growing in Community Learning Centres across the province. The gardens are fertile ground for school-community partnerships and represent a strategy that touches upon hands-on learning, family-community engagement and healthy food and healthy lifestyles.
A school-community garden is not always an easy endeavor - but if things go well, you can literally enjoy the fruits of your labor.
