Like anything that grows, the more you nurture it, the greater the reward. The Seaway District High School Greenhouse Group, which last year worked to get the greenhouse on the school grounds up and running again after a period of dormancy, started small last year.
They grew some lettuce and donated it to the local Community Food Share. This year, with the greenhouse ready much sooner in the planting season, they were able to grow a number of seedlings for the community garden at Riverview Presbyterian Church, which is a community project of the Iroquois-Matilda Lions Club.
SDHS’s Greenhouse Group sent over 200 plants to the Lions community garden project. That partnership and those efforts mean that the Community Garden, which also donates its produce to Community Food Share, is thriving.
It also facilitated the Lions initiative to start a gardening project with the J.W. MacIntosh Seniors Support Centre in Williamsburg.
