We hosted our third Little Green Thumbs Teachers Workshop here in Saskatoon on September 11th and 12th, 2009.  This years workshop featured lessons for first year teachers including garden kit set-up, composting with worms in the classroom, overview of the program, cultural components to the program, and a fabulous sharing session with experienced teachers.  We are also thrilled to be having our experienced teachers return to the workshop to extend their knowledge of in-classroom gardening and vermicomposting, as well as working together to plan and create the gardening experience in their school.  One of the best parts of this workshop was the feeling of community that was generated when so many wonderful teachers got together to share their experiences in hands-on education and helping their students to get in touch with nature.

This year, we had 37 teachers in attendance from Black Lake to Assiniboia and Lloydminster to Ochapowace First Nation.
