Merry Christmas Gerry and Molly

For those of you who don't know the story.  Gerry is a 97 year old neighbour.  About 10? years ago he began taming the area next to Brooksbank.  He replaced invasive brambles with bee friendly and other ornamental plants.  Neighbours noticed and started offering him tools, leftover, plants, soil etc.  North Van City became involved and now dog walkers, joggers, bicyclists, and even horse riders enjoy the garden.  Gerry continues to maintain it when his health allows.  Molly's job is wrangling Gerry so he doesn't overdo it.  Many of the children and staff know Gerry and he loves it when we stop to say Hi.

On Wednesday, Brooksbank students took turns decorating a pine tree in Gerry's Garden next to the school.  In the afternoon, the students from our class and Mrs. Spofforth's kindies presented our concert numbers to them.  We also presented them with a card signed by Brooksbank students and staff.  Gerry and Molly were really touched.
