United Way Day of Caring - done!
Hi folks,
The Day of Caring went exceptionally well today. I welcomed a dozen volunteers from local firms Intercall, Moxies, and Lyman & Potts at 9:30am at the garden. Thirty 6-inch by 6-inch by 12-foot timbers had been delivered the day before by Glen Supply, and it took us about an hour to frame the 5 new beds. The delivery of 10 cubic-yards of topsoil took place at 10am, and by 11:30am the entire job was done! Amazing! We had a steady stream of 6 wheelbarrows going at one point.
Please support our local firms: Glen Supply and Pyke Farms

Volunteers needed
Volunteers needed to build new beds on Friday, June 5th
Good news! The United Way will be funding a further expansion of the garden, which has been APPROVED by the Utility. We will be part of their ‘Day of Caring’, which will take place on June 5th. They will supply materials and some volunteers to construct new beds. What an exciting time! Joey needs volunteers to help with the construction. In addition to the satisfaction that comes with building new beds, you’ll also get a free United Way T-shirt! Folks, it just doesn’t get any better than that!!! The expansion plan may be found here:

Spring Meeting
The sun is out and it is time to garden! How about getting together on Sunday, May 3rd at 4pm? (Sunday, May 10th was also considered but that is Mother's Day weekend). We will have a BBQ available so bring food as well. We can use the initial part of the gathering to clean up our plots and the yard, paint signs for our plot and perhaps add compost to the plots. There is free compost available at Joyceville Pen and a few of us may go up the day before to bring some to the garden. Hope to see you there. Rupa

Garden Bed Expansion RAINDATE: Sunday 19th
Three new bed frames were built on Sunday April 19th. I'm in the process of contacting new members on our waiting list. Everyone: feel free to use the wheelbarrow to help me fill these new beds with soil from our piles in the back of the lot! Joey

Photos for blog
Hello! It's Tracey (I was a gardener last year and am moving to Toronto this summer.) I just noticed that the photo stream for the blog is from my flickr site. If anyone has photos they want me to add, let me know. (And if you switch it to someone else's photo stream who is a current gardener, of course that's fine with me too.)
Best of luck in the garden this year!
