The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson
of Montpelier, VT, and was developed in collaboration
with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a
registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.

 

This June is Indigenous History Month and we wanted to share some Indigenous books that adults, teens, and kids can read and learn from. We wanted to thank Rise Up BWG for their suggestions and contributions to the booklists. Thank you!

 

This is an important month to commemorate Indigenous heritage in Canada.

Giant Gardening Challenge 2022! 🌻

 

In celebration of the Year of the Garden 2022, BWG Healthy Communities Committee and the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library is challenging everyone to grow the biggest vegetable in one of five categories for bragging rights and prizes. 

In the autumn, we will ask area residents to show us their largest garden specimens, but to participate you must start growing your giant vegetables now! 
Competition categories and how they will be judged: 

    🎃 Pumpkin (weight) 
    🍠 Other squash (weight) 
    🥔 Root vegetable (weight) 
    🌻 Sunflower (diameter) 
    🥒 Grower’s choice - any large plant/vegetable specimen (judges’ discretion) 

Watch the BWG Library website and social media for updates and tips for growing large vegetables and for the final details on how we will celebrate. Also be sure to check out the BWG Seed Library  - your source for open pollinated seeds (especially large varieties such as Big Max Pumpkins and Mongolian Sunflowers).
