Project BUG

Grandview Woodland Food Connection asked Stanley and Susan to help facilitate a youth program  in Vancouver.  Using some of the techniques described in the Youth Manual,  students shared their ideas for how they wish to experience a community garden on school grounds.  Here is the flickr set of photos  as well as the follow-up session here and, later a build party for the new student garden
