We have much to be grateful for during this 2013 GROWING SEASON
· A CELEBRATION TO BEGIN THE YEAR! 5 years of growing and all the plots rented in ONE DAY!
· NEW GARDENERS! What a treat to welcome many new gardeners and it was very exciting to work alongside them and see their delight in their growing and celebrate their successes.
· RASPBERRY RAZZLE DAZZLE—Our raspberry bushes were adopted by a hardworking crew of gardeners and given a fertile bed to thrive in! We look forward to a bumper crop of berries in 2014—with a strawberry patch too!
· SHED—we are still so honoured to be given a shed, a safe and beautiful home for our ever growing tool collection! Thanks, community partners!
· PATHWAY PROJECT PROGRESS! After hours of digging, hauling, calling, emailing, wheelbarrowing...mulching...the paths look MUCH better and hopefully the maintenance will be less for a while.
· Hard working gardeners and community helpers from the Dream Center, Options Calgary make our garden great!
· Garden experiments...COVER CROPS and a POTATO CONDO. One of gardener’s creativity and curiosity at work—and such a great learning experience! See our blog from more info.
· Our First GARDEN FIELD TRIP! to Jeff Casey’s Urban farm in August, this was a follow up to a generous invitation he gave during his early spring Tomato workshop we hosted.
· FUN-DRAISING—we continue to sell notecards, teacup bird feeders, and later this season we sold garlic for fall planting and seed for cover crops for soil improvement. All available to you.
