4th Annual Easter Egg Hunt - 2008
Back again this year by popular demand was the Easter Bunny himself as well as Jazz the Clown.
Many kids (and staff) lined up to get their faces painted by Jazz. Everyone looked a little more Easter-ie and Spring like when she was done with us.
The Easter Bunny hid eggs around the straw maze and stopped to take pictures with the egg hunters, did some dancing and helped to hand out balloons.

3rd Annual Speakers Corner - September 2007
Brian the Bug Guy has continued to encourage us to use beneficial bugs in our lawn and gardens; such as, nematodes for the grubs, chinch bugs, crane fly and more. He also encouraged us to use Turf Maize as an alternative to chemical weed killers to get rid of weeds in the lawn.
Bob from Spear Seeds taught us many new things about fertilizing and weed control for our lawns, seeding tricks and how to take care of your lawn properly to discourage those pesky bugs and weeds. Thanks for the drought resistant grass seed samples Bob!!
Shirley inspired many people with her beautiful and easy to create fall planters, urn inserts, as well as Thanksgiving centre pieces. She even gave us a taste of what to expect for our Christmas urns and planters. - Come by in December to see our custom made urn inserts.
Kathy again, gave us many beneficial tips on perennials and how to care for them organically. She showed us what plants complement each other and help to ward off pests and diseases. She also showed us how to separate hostas quickly and easily - Thanks to those volunteers as well, who helped separate hostas - they got to take some hostas home with them.
Kathy after each seminar taught the crowed about being a True Steward of the Earth. Everyone received their own Colorado Spruce seedling (from the Town of Georgina)to take home to plant and nurture.
See everyone again next year!

Steward of the Earth School Program - April-May 2007
All of the students received a pamphlet on the Benefits of Trees, a Steward of the Earth magnet, a Steward of the Earth pin, an information letter outlining the Steward of the Earth program, planting instructions and the competition.
The students had to bring the seedling home, plant it and take a picture of it and send it into the garden centre. They were then given a certificate congratulating them on becoming a True Steward of the Earth. Whichever class at the end of the 2 weeks had the most certificates, won a pizza lunch and a tree planted at the school in their honour.
Congratulations to Ms. Wilma Bunnik's Sr. Kindergarten class for bringing back the highest number of Steward of the Earth certificates. Way to go!!
