The Terra Nova Schoolyard Project presents Terra Nova Tea

The Terra Nova Schoolyard Project is a large community park in Richmond that strives connects elementary and high school students with the earth, the community around them and agriculture at large. Students learn to grow, monitor, harvest and eat nutritiously on a weekly basis. Students are involved in hands-on activities that integrate the complete food cycle – from seed to table, from table back to soil – (in the form of composting.) There are multiple learning outcomes and extensions that this project encompasses. Some key outcomes include social responsibility, science, math, wellness and cooperative learning.

This Fall, Terra Nova Schoolyard Society partnered up with T Room teas to create a custom Terra Nova blend. It is an organic Rooibos with orange and lemon notes. Money from tea sales will go to support the Terra Nova Schoolyard Project, which runs entirely on donation, municiple funding and with dedicated volunteers.

Each tin (~50 cup yield) sells for $15 and can be purchased directly from the Terra Nova Schoolyard Society. Orders placed before November 23 are guarenteed to arrive before the holiday season. All cheques should be payable to the Terra Nova Schoolyard Society.
