Vinny and the Plant Campers are kicking off this special season and saying it with PRIDE!

Follow along on Friday to see how they’ve joined in the celebration so far 🌱 🏕️ 🌈

In 1875, Grace Annie Lockhart shattered barriers as the first woman in the British Empire to earn a university degree, a Bachelor of Science from Mount Allison Wesleyan College, and set a powerful precedent for women’s education across the Commonwealth.

To honour her trailblazing spirit, Grace Annie Lockhart Sesquicentennial Pins were presented during Convocation & Reunion Weekend, recognizing women alumnae who embody leadership, innovation, service, and community impact. The ceremony brought together students, faculty, and alumni to mark 150 years of her enduring influence, spotlighting extraordinary women, from pioneering scientists and social advocates to artists and public leaders.

Plant Summer Camp seconds the words of Mount Allison President Dr. Ian Sutherland: “Grace Annie Lockhart’s historic achievement did not happen in Oxford, London, Toronto, or Ottawa: it happened in Sackville, New Brunswick. In the 150 years since, women from Mount Allison have continued to shape history and change the world.”

Feeling a bit like a lost seed this week ~ where was PSC?? They’ve been in the shadows too, as R.P. Bell was getting some sprucing up. Poor Vinny had to keep his eyes peeled on the plant campers in the dark and without his rooted support staff!

We’ll see you next week for more illuminating adventures 🌱 🏕️ 🪴
