Happy Earth Day everyone!

The children from River Hebert Elementary School P-3 have been having a great time planting their special pumpkin seeds in their recycled plastic pop bottle greenhouses and we are looking forward to showing grades 4-6 how compost is made, how to care for their pumpkin seeds and our new exhibitions later on this afternoon.

We are open until 4:30pm today and re-open at 6:30 for the evening, so don't forget to come down for our guest speaker, Rowena Hopkins, author of Canadian food roots weblog and expert in the areas of organic and sustainable farming. Rowena is a collaborator with the Rural Women Making Change research alliance, working towards creating a sustainable and healthy agricultural experience in Canada. Rowena's presentation will take place at 7:00pm.

We will be serving free coffee, tea and Joyce's delicious double chocolate home-baked cookies!
