Tree Chipping Event Raises Garden Funds

We would like to extend a very big thank you to everyone at the UBC Botanical Garden for their support of SPEC's School Gardens Project and in particular Bayview Elementary School.  The Xmas Tree Chipping Event raised $1032.11 to help grow this lovely school's organic food garden!  Over the holidays, trees brought to the Botanical Garden where chipped to provide mulch on pathways and more. This was the most successful chipping event to date and so a big thank you is also due to those who donated their trees and funds to the project.
