This year’s Community Forum, organized by our local Voices group, is on the theme of developing community gardens, with a special emphasis on creating school gardens.  Guest speaker Michael Howell has been involved in the Edible Schoolyard project at Dr. Arthur Hines Elementary School in Sumerville, Hants County. Each fall, Mr. Howell helps students host a feast for the community, with food travelling from their schoolyard plots to plates in less than three hours.

An incredible lunch made from local produce will be served. To reserve your place, please RSVP to Colleen Cameron 867-3895 or email accamero@stfx.ca
