SUNSHINE is just around the corner... the last 2 summers when the high system moved in, it stayed and we are almost there!  The watering families remember :-)!

Kindergarteners get to work

With our classroom set of trowels (thank you to our funders!), two kindergarten classrooms from the Annex got to work and planted the seedlings they had so carefully grown in their windowsills.

Thank you to all the parents who came out and helped protect the 'babies' while being planted!  Any family wanting to help water this summer please contact us at info@generalwolfegardens.com

When those Grade One's return in September, there may be sunflowers taller than their teacher!  They also planted the popular 'Teddy Bear' variety and tasty nasturtiums.

When one boy was asked to move along, he stared at the seedlings and said "But we like them so much!"
