Monday May 12th at 6:30pm, we will be turning the soil at the new garden site at Oak Park. We'll be lifting sod on 500ft of garden. Then we'll transport the grass to an existing compost pile 30m away. So... show up with spades, forks, and wheelbarrows, or just bring yourself!
The garden is at the far west end of Oak Street, just past where Victoria Street terminates. The basic plan is to cultivate 500 square feet of potatoes for donation to local emergency meal and food providers. We're going low tech and not asking for many City resources this summer (no water). We will also try to build profile over the year to involve community in planning for the future uses of the site... more donation plots, community garden plots, education centre... at this site there is room for all possibilities.
See you there!
