So much rich learning can happen in the garden and the lessons learned in the school garden can be carried home to make a more sustainable community. View project Environmental Inequity (People) The students will plant and build a natural shelter made with bendable live branches of willow trees. This will be place close to the first nation garden build last year. The students will plant small willow trees. The tall branches will be bent and shaped into a shelter looking like a longhouse. The idea is to build a longhouse next to the first nation garden that the students build last year and the pine tree (the peace tree of the Iroquoiens) that was planted. View project
