Schools in Bloom
Each year the City of Niagara Falls Park in the City Committee, the Niagara Parks Commission and the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture organize the Niagara Falls Schools In Bloom Program. This program gives schools across the city the opportunity to participate in rewarding activities to landscape and beautify their schoolyard areas, while continuing to learn about horticulture and the environment.
Ultimately, the purpose of the Niagara Falls Schools In Bloom program is to educate, cultivate and participate: Educating students about the exciting world of horticulture, cultivating not only gardens but friendships as well and participating in the improvement of our school environments and our community as a whole. For the most part, projects are student driven. As a result, students develop a sense of pride and ownership for their school and work. At the same time, they are taught responsibility, perseverance, teamwork and respect for the environment; skills which are truly essential to their personal and professional development.
Presently, the Niagara Falls Schools In Bloom program involves local high schools and elementary schools who have committed to the project. The long term goal is to have all schools within Niagara Falls participate in the program. For more information on the project or you would like to get your school involved, please email jguarasci@niagarafalls.ca
