It provides a structure and opportunity for our community to celebrate the best our Islands have to offer, gives to all who enter an opportunity to exhibit their best, and to those who visit a chance to see the talent our community fosters.

Thanks for the Food You Grow
This is the 8th year that the Pender Island Farmer’s Institute has sponsored the School Garden Project Seed Day. Students from every grade came out on this cold and windy March day to plant pole beans, bush beans, zuchinni, and nasturtiums and were given potatoes and tomato seedlings to plant at home or at the School Garden. Back in their warm classrooms, they carefully placed the pots on the window sills, washed their hands and enthusiastically talked about their garden plans and the “huge zuchinni” they grew last year. It will be lots of fun to see the fruits and vegetables of their labours exhibited at the Fall Fair on August 27th this year!
