The Ä¢¹½AV Librariesā seed library has launched a new garden kit initiative.Ā The goal of this is to help promote food literacy while also encouragingĀ active bodies, curiosity & wellnessĀ amongst our community. Ā
To celebrate the start of the 2020 Canadian Environment Week, the Office of Sustainability will be running aĀ social mediaĀ competition from May 29-June 5 where you canĀ enter to winĀ one ofĀ theseĀ seed kits, all you need to do is tag us in a pictureĀ ofĀ how you have been enjoying theĀ outdoorsĀ eitherĀ on Twitter or Facebook and include the hashtagĀ #growgoodthings! We will reach out toĀ the winners with details onĀ delivering your prizes. Ā
Each garden kit contains an average of 5 varieties of seed along with tip sheets, growing instructions, and a crop descriptor form if kit recipients want to take part in a national initiative to document the resilient traits of open-pollinatedĀ plants.āÆAlso included are instructions for saving some of the seeds for next year. Please note there is no expectation for seedsĀ to be returned to Ä¢¹½AVās seed library at this time, this is our gift in gratitude for allĀ thatĀ our community does to nourish us.
We look forward toĀ seedingĀ your photos!Ā ā
