Bernard Eco TeamIt all started with the grade 3 class taking a pledge to help the environment .

RecycleReduce and reuse pledge to make a differencePicking up garbage Grade 3 classRead about the environment

Started compostingSave energyStudied biodiversityParticipated in Great Backyard Bird countLearned about native plants

But we wanted to grow our own food and increase our schools biodiversity. We found the perfect spot - our courtyard.

Convert our boring, grey courtyard to a vibrant, green oasis that will attract birds butterflies and grow veggies.

We had a dream..

We invited special garden expert Brian Minter who talked to us about sustainability and what plants to grow.

We planted our seeds and treated them with care. Gave them clean water and fed them fresh air.

We measuredDrew up plans and made a budget.We did fundraising

We fundraised

Then the building began

Our soil arrived

Our garden beds were finally done..

Our team has grown to over thirty people and we are ready to tackle the next phase benches then spring planting.
