Sign up to be a F2SBC Seed Pen Pal!

[Tessa Stiven]

Hello School Garden teachers, 

Farm to School BC would like to invite your class to participate in our inaugural Seed Pen Pal Exchange project! 

How It Works

• Get Matched: We will use the sign-up form to connect you with another class in BC with a school garden.

• Happy Exchange: In April, you will send your “pen pal” class a letter and seeds, and receive the same in return! You can share seeds that you saved from your school garden, seeds received from donations or seed exchanges, or purchased seeds.  

• Stay In Touch: In June, you will send and receive a garden update from your pen pal.

• F2SBC Support: We’ll provide some guidelines for a successful pen pal exchange, and be here to support you along the way! We will also provide a printable class activity for each pen pal exchange to further class engagement and enhance learning outcomes from participation in the project.

If you would like to be a Seed Pen Pal, please sign-up here: https://farmtoschoolbc.ca/seed-pen-pal-exchange/

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Warmly,

Tessa
