Little Green Thumbs

We have a big bold vision: a garden in every school and a school in every garden. We make learning come alive! #LittleGreenThumbs

Energy flow and nutrient cycles are essential phenomena in nature and we can observe these phenomena in our garden.

Did you know?  Every year, our regional coordinators go into Little Green Thumbs classrooms across the country to facilitate hands on, garden learning?  Last week we had a blast making super sticky Energy Balls with the good folks at Chief Whitecap School in Saskatoon.

K-3 students were challenged today to create parts of a plant with objects around the classroom. They were pretty creative- some even had sunlight and rain! @littlegrnthumbs @AITCNL @bishopwhiteNL

K-3 students loved their harvest celebration today! @littlegrnthumbs program gives students a hands-on opportunity to grow, care for, and learn about fresh food right in their own classroom garden. 🌱💚 So proud of our little gardeners! @bishopwhiteNL @NLSchoolsCA @AITCNL

Our friends in Grades 2/3 class have been busy growing plants—and curiosity! From tiny seeds to leafy greens, these young gardeners are learning patience, science, and the joy of watching life sprout! @littlegrnthumbs @AITCNL @bishopwhiteNL

Thanks so much to Earth Connections Garden Centre! They are great supporters and champions of the Little Green Thumbs program.  Earth Connections supplies the Earthboxes that we use in our LGT gardens and we couldn't do it without them!

Why is it important to know where your food comes from?

Janet Dean, Executive Director of the Territorial Agrifood Association, shares how agriculture shapes the way we live, work and eat.

This Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM), we’re connecting classrooms across Canada to the people and stories behind our food.

Thank you to @Cargill and @AAFC_Canada for supporting CALM!

Pourquoi est-il important de connaître la provenance de nos aliments?

Janet Dean, directrice générale de la Territorial Agrifood Association, explique comment l’agriculture façonne notre façon de vivre, de travailler et de manger.

En ce Mois de la littératie agricole canadienne (CALM), nous mettons les classes de tout le Canada en contact avec les personnes et les histoires qui se cachent derrière nos aliments.

Merci à Cargill et à @AAC_Canada pour son soutien au CALM!
