...what happened to the garden on Monday night.........

Remember this?..How the garden team applied for a SOUL of the CITY grant...and went Monday night to cheer on our very own Maureen and Dave to do the live pitch for the garden?

Well....It was an interesting evening, we weren't one of the 5 winners of the grant; however, the Calgary Economic Development stepped up to say all of the 8 projects will happen.  We were one of the 3 sad losing teams, but happy winners in the end!  We don't have any details yet, but what a kind gesture.  Looking forward to the garden evolving a lot more this garden season, benefiting the communities.

It was certainly interesting watching and learning about the different groups, community initiatives, and presentation styles that the other groups had.  I think we can all say our presentation was very well done...certainly made me proud!  It's neat to think we got to this point after all this hard work...WOOHOO!

Thank you to everyone for stories, support, smiles, and most of all being part of our garden,

Grateful, relieved, and smidge tired,
The garden team
