Springvalley Permaculture Project or "THE GARDEN" is about finding a way to talk about and take action around the issues of global warming, food security, environmental pollution, organics, feeding the planet and just getting dirty! In our initial years we participated in both Destination conservation and Healthy Schools initiatives to help focus our efforts. Dedicated urban farmers keep the project sustainable through the summer and students come as much or little as they want to share in the chores and harvest. The project is about the people wanting to be involved and there is always space for the SMS community to take on a role of any size and leadership capacity within the project. OUR permaculture project won the BC Green games two years in a row!
