Next month, I'm also doing a small neighbourhood workshop to help more women gain confidence with using power tools by themselves. I have 8 women signed up so far. My workshop limit is 12.

I'm contacting Shoreline, Colquitz & Esquimalt Middle schools in September, to ask if I can use their fields for free, to teach free mushrooms growing workshops & other free beneficial community resiliency/useful life-skills workshops. I need to acquire one popup event tent & one fold out table to run portable community educational workshops.

If you're in #Saanich / #VictoriaBC & are interested in coming to my free grow your own gourmet mushrooms workshop, feel free to DM me. I'm real huge on accessible, inclusive & cost-free, useful community educational workshops that I volunteer to teach.

When disaster struck the Communitarian High School Jose Martí supported San Francisco Ixhuatán. Now the school needs solidarity after a storm damaged spaces built through decades of collective work.

🌎 Celebrate Upcycling Day with Scrap, an environmental documentary about Beauty, Collection & Restoration! Scrap explores the vast and strangely beautiful places where things go to die and introduces the people who collect, restore, and recycle the world’s scrap.

The Scrap Discussion Guide can help you start conversations in your classrooms, public screenings and community education spaces about the circular economy, right to repair, upcycling, and urban exploration. For grades 6-12, adult/higher ed.

Get the Scrap Discussion Guide to educate, engage, and activate your community! 👇

I also cleaned up & reorganized my grassroots, backyard community education/workshop - my new #OutdoorClassroom area 😊
It will be for me & neighbours & some of my grassroots comrades with diverse skillsets to mutually teach & mutually learn - citizens to citizens.

We're short on volunteers so I'll also be the one documenting our Saanich Neighbour to Neighbour Resilience Initiative event today. My Mom or the organizer will take over photo documentation when I'm busy teaching the last workshop.

This all started with one idea & having face to face chats with nearby neighbours, all within a 3 block radius.

This new Learning guide for grades 9-12 & adult/higher ed is a powerful tool for exploring:

Let us help. We have resources to help you talk about gun violence in your classroom and community. We wish we didn't need to.

To start sensitive discussions around gun violence, we recommend Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, the story of gun violence survivor Gabby Giffords, and our free discussion guide.

The team that worked on our teaching resources for Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down included gun violence survivors — and it shows. These materials are powerful, accessible and not political at all. Our Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down Learning Guide also includes our Facilitation Guidelines for Group Discussions, to help students voice things they need to talk about.

Beside the nature house, there's a short trail that leads to the gazebo/outdoor classroom area. It's a nice spot to have a picnic in the shade, when there's not educational programs happening because it has seating & a table.
The #WheelchairPath / #AccessibleTrail is on the left. The native plant garden trail is on the right (not an accessible trail for wheelchair users). You can see plenty of native plants & trees along the accessible trail though.

#SwanLakeNatureSanctuary - the #NatureHouse. This is where I worked out of in my late 20s, as a nature interpreter/educator for public school field trips for a few months. I taught out of the nature house, an outdoor gazebo & on the central dock at the nature sanctuary.
There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.

One of my newer, younger neighbours (my Mom & her Mom became friends) came by to talk to me yesterday. She asked if I'm open to doing a brief presentation/mini workshop for our neighbourhood community in early June. I've agreed to teach a free frugal gardening mini workshop & will give away some free supplies for newbies to get started well. I pitched starting a neighbourhood seeds sharing library too because many people avoid the downtown area so they don't visit Victoria Seed Library, which is in the Central Victoria public library. She's keen on having a smaller community seeds library & is working on writing a community grant for that & for us to do more neighbourhood community building work.

It's wonderful to be approached by a neighbour, who is wanting to actively collaborate on closer community building, right in our 'hood. Community grassroots collaborations sparks joy for me 😃💗

I'm getting some resources this week, to put together several free #GarryOakEcosystem #nature #zines to give away in my #LittleFreeLibrary all through this Spring & Summer.
It's part of my ongoing personal efforts to boost #NatureEducation / #NatureTeachings - right from the front of our home; so more people can learn about amazing local #biodiversity in our local #ecosystems 🙂
People who learn more about nature, will learn to love, respect & protect nature life systems 💚☘️

Have you ever tasted a #pluot #fruit before?

Pluots /ˈpluːɒt/ are later generations of complex hybrid between the Japanese plum, Prunus salicina (providing the greater amount of parentage), and the apricot, Prunus armeniaca.[6][7] The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling that of a plum. Pluots were developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.[8]

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluot

They're one of the 1st #FruitTrees to blossom in this area of the South Island. These are their #flowerbuds & early #blossoms 🤍
