Boys and Girls Club making sure kids know how to grow food

The Multicultural Centre isn’t the only organization in town looking to build a greenhouse.

 

Regina DaSilva, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Thompson says the club is planning to build one: "Through our after school program we’re building a greenhouse. Christa Herkert and her group really work hard to make sure that we’re teaching kids how  to grow food and things of that nature".

 

The idea came last year, when City Centre Mall donated gardening pots to the Club.

 

DaSilva says they’ve already planted several fruits and vegetables. She says most of the walls of the greenhouse have already been built as well.
