COMMUNITY GARDEN
The Queen Mary Community Garden was reorganized in 2009, with assistance from the City of North Vancouver. It now includes 4 plots for school students, 10 for parents of students, and 62 for community residents. The first planting season was 2010.
Student plots are managed in cooperation with the Edible Garden Society, which helps out during summer when the school is closed.
Honey bees are raised on one plot, providing a better understanding of the importance of bees as pollinators for food crops.
