The Strathmore High School's (SHS) greenhouse has been busy with its newest projects and community involvement, and today it took its community involvement even further by hosting the Lacombe High School Ecovision Club and the Lacombe Garden Club.
The greenhouse and Communities in Bloom (CiB) have been working together on various initiatives, and CiB co-chair Jen Neufeld explained Lacombe has a large garden club and a greenhouse that's 10 years ahead of Strathmore, so she was happy to show what Strathmore is up to and get some new ideas.
"We're looking forward to showing it off and getting some feedback and networking," Neufeld said.
Beyond the greenhouse, Neufeld said the tour also included visiting DNA Gardens near Elnora, stopping by Olds College to see a wetlands project and a lunch where the Lacombe group can meet with Strathmore groups like SHS, CiB, and the Strathmore Garden Club to share ideas and get to know each other.
"There's a wealth of knowledge amongst gardeners and Strathmore that could be shared, and just invite people to get involved because it's such a positive thing for the community and to build relationships with like-minded people."
