THE INFINITY GARDEN
A JOINT PROJECT BETWEEN JOHN G. DIEFENBAKER DIEFENBAKER HIGH SCHOOL AND SIR JOHN
A. MACDONALD JUNIOR HIGH.


 
This garden project connects our two schools together


The design is meant to connect the two schools together, to create a shared
space to allow our two communities to connect as one.

Diefenbaker Students are developing a contemplative garden space, surrounded by
trees, in which students can study or relax.

In the centre of the garden area includes seating and planted areas

Garden construction is complete!

This Indigenous-centred garden will be a shared place of gathering for the
students, staff, and community members of the two neighboring schools, Sir John
A. Macdonald School (SJAM) and John G. Diefenbaker High School (Dief), to come
together, learn about Indigenous plants and traditions, reflect, and relax.
While being part of school and extra-curricular programming, this garden will
also help ease transition to high school by providing consistency in allowing
the junior high students to stay connected to the same group of peers as they
begin high school.

This garden project will bring together junior high and high school students
from two schools, two YMCA Indigineous student clubs,  Elder Saa’kokoto, the
Calgary Board of Education’s Indigenous Education department, and the students’
parents and guardians. All these stakeholders will collaborate to build a garden
that will not only naturalize our urban environment but Indigenize our colonial
school spaces.
