Every spring, a new crop of UBC Education students like me are sent out to schools in the TEGS (Think&EatGreen@School) program to help with the gardens. This spring, one of those students is me - Alexandra - and my given school is Queen Elizabeth. It's great to be here!
So far, there have been lots of environmental activities to get involved with:
-planting and weeding with Green School students
-taking classes to the orchard for scientific sketching
-going on a bog walk looking for signs of spring
-helping Catriona with flower reproduction presentations
-dissecting bean seeds for embryos
Here are some of the photos:
From top: tomato plants coming along nicely in Natasha's office, a bounty of West Coast Seeds for planting, loupes for getting a close-up look at flowers (stamen, stigma, pistil, ovary, ovules...), tulips ready for dissection, and three trays of pots ready for the Green Team to use this afternoon!
