Seed Exchange
If you’re already planning your garden, you’ll enjoy dropping by the first of the complimentary Seed Exchange, Sales and Gardeners’ Social at BICS, in the multi-purpose room, January 14, 11am-Noon featuring seeds harvested by BICS student gardeners as part of the BICS Grow to the Market and Garden program. Bring seeds you’ve collected from your garden to exchange/sell/trade, or just bring money to buy seeds. Packages of student-harvested seeds start at .50cents and include: pumpkin, sunflower, cornflower, beans, radishes, cilantro, cabbage, kale, parsley and more! Gardeners are invited to bring examples of their garden plans to show and share. BAA is assisting with this event as a partner.
BICS Farm to School Info Session
Are you interested in learning more about the BICS Farm to School program? After the seed exchange, January 14 Noon-1pm, in the MPR, there will be an info session and meeting with BICS Community School Coordinator for local growers interested in learning more about the BICS Farm to School program. We have funding to invest in our local agriculture to reach our goals of increasing consumption of locally grown produce in our Friday Lunch program and having every student at BICS visit at least one farm or garden on Bowen this year. Come to this meeting to find out more about how you can participate!
