Greenhouse program helps grow young gardeners

Alec Nichol, 9, gets his green thumb on with help from Nancy Fynn-Sackey during the Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society’s regular youth program. Held each Sunday afternoon, the program allows youngsters to get their hands dirty working in the gardens in the greenhouse and take home what they harvest. Fynn-Sackey is a board member with the greenhouse society, which also hosts weekly Wednesday harvest nights starting at approximately 5:30 p.m. where people can take home the vegetables they pick.
