Seed Starting in the Spring Sun

The Nimkii Youth Collective plan to build a covered space to house newly started plants for our community garden. The seed starting case would protect against frost and cold night temps, extend our very short growing season and allow for a more successful rate of germination and seedling survival.

Butterfly Gardens

On Treaty 1 land, students will create Butterfly Gardens by planting and caring for indigenous plants, native prairie shrubs, grasses and wildflowers. Students will observe biodiversity, connect to the land, and experience how to harvest the indigenous plants and medicines in the fall.
