Gardening and goal setting will be the perfect mix at Indigenous Education’s Plant Your Seeds event.
To be held on June 14 at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the event will celebrate a new raised bed in the Indigenous Gardens. The new addition will be used to grow medicines, plant seedlings such as three sisters, and provide teachings – about the importance of growing medicines, cultivating your own food, seed keeping, and more.
Participants will hear teachings about different plants and will be invited to plant seedlings while learning about the process. After a light lunch (provided), there will be a short goal-setting activity. Participants will also have a chance to plant their ‘seeds for success’ by choosing two goals -one academic and one personal – that they would like to ‘grow’ by the end of the season.
Everyone is welcome to attend on a drop-in basis (registration is not required).
No prior knowledge is necessary and all tools and items will be provided.
The event will be held on June 14 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. rain or shine (planting would remain outdoors but other portions of the event would move indoors in case of inclement weather).
