Happy New Year to all MidSun Community Gardeners

2017 - So much going on in the world today, so it's so nice to be able to get back to our roots and start planning our 2017 Community Garden Goals.  Over the course of last year, a few changes occurred and although there were some setbacks, we have definitely been able to grow and include many new members.

Our first meeting of the year will be Monday, January 16, 2017.  Due to the renovations that are ongoing at the community centre, we will be having off-site meetings.  If you are interested in becoming part of our team, please send an email to midsuncommunitygarden@gmail.com  Everyone is welcome to attend and we will be providing an address closer to the date.

We are also looking to have a full calendar of events this year. We are inviting members of our community and the City of Calgary at large to participate in our community garden by sharing their talents and knowledge of all things garden related.

If you or someone you know are willing to come and teach a craft, a garden seminar, share your love of making herb infused oils or butters, share some garden wisdom, then please contact us so that we can start compiling a list of interested parties.

If you have any gardening knowledge that you would be willing to share, be it Tip and Tricks, identifying Pests or Partners, building a miniature garden or fairy gardens, anything along those veins, we would love to hear from you!

We are also looking for some inspiring new writers.  We are looking for anyone that might be taking journalism at school, or a hobbyist writer to help us with our blog and social media campaigns.  This would be ideal for someone who is passionate about writing and has an interest in community and gardening.  If you would be interested in possibly coming in to help out, please feel free to contact Kim Taylor at 403-466-8388 to discuss your ideas.

We also have a few key positions available on our garden board.  Specifically, we are in need of a Treasurer, a Volunteer Coordinator and a Vice Chair. If you or someone you know would be interested in assuming any of these positions, kindly send an email indicating your preference and we would love to meet with you!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Garden last year and we are so excitedly looking forward to an even more incredible 2017!  Happy New Year Everyone and we look forward to seeing you at the garden!
