To mark Earth Week, Loretto College’s GreenThumbs hosted a “Grow Your Garden” workshop, where the EcoTeam—joined by two classes—explored the benefits of healthy soil and worms in helping fight climate change.

At lunchtime, the EcoTeam also organized a Locally-Grown Food Festival. Students sampled Ontario-grown produce, planted pea plants, and learned about the many environmental and health benefits of eating local.
