Volunteer with AITC at

Gardenscape 2010

March 26-28th 2010 at Prairieland Park

We will be hosting a booth at Gardenscape from March 26th to March 28th in Saskatoon, SK and are looking for volunteers to help spread the word about our great school gardening programs Little Green Thumbs, and to unveil our new school gardening program GREENSCAPADES!

We are asking that volunteers commit to at least a 2 hour time slot during the following dates and times:  Friday, 11 am - 10 pm; Saturday, 9 am- 8 pm; and Sunday, 11 am- 5 pm.

Volunteers will receive a day pass for the day they volunteer to the show ($10 value), a t-shirt, and a fun time with the Ag in the Classroom staff!

We are really encouraging teachers to come out and learn from the other exhibitors at Gardenscape.

Please contact Adrianne at info@littlegreenthumbssk.ca if you are interested in volunteering.

We would also like to encourage the LGT schools to think of Gardenscape as a possibility for a class field trip ( Students 15 and under are FREE ), as there are many wonderful gardens on display, as well as the Live Butterfly Exhibit ($3 / person).

Dr. Doug Waterer from the University of Saskatchewan is speaking at 2:00 pm on Friday, March 26th about the Best Vegetables for the Home Gardener.

Another really cool feature of Gardenscape is the Plant Auction on Sunday at the Speakers Theatre at 6:30 pm.

Hey Garden-based learning enthusiasts, please check out this amazing video of an outdoor school gardening program in Manitoba!

Great job Mel Johnson School!
