Public Invitation to the Public Produce Garden, MacKinnon Park

POSTPONED

The decision has been made to postpone today's Work Bee at the Public Produce Garden until Tuesday, May 28.

Usually we'd go rain or shine, but the forecast is showing LARGE amounts of rain for today and pretty cold temperatures, so let's try for a bit more comfort and plan a day when lots can be accomplished (and a lot more people will be motivated to come out!).

Hi everyone,

This Thursday, May 23, anytime between 3-7pm we'll be busy like bees and humming happy planting tunes down at the Public Produce Garden. It would be great to see you there!

On the list so far is:

- PLANTING POTATOES (in preparation for our second annual 'Potato Pickin' Party' this September!)

- FILLING AND SEEDING OUR NEW RAISED BEDS (very cool conversion of old fridges and freezers to insulated raised beds - come and check 'em out - and help us make them look pretty to keep the City happy :)!)

- CREATING A SQUASH & PUMPKIN MOUND (we've got rolls of old sod to use as a base, and will go from there to create a 'ready for Halloween' piece of the garden)

- MOW THE VERY HAPPY GRASS (with our snazzy new push 'reel' mower)

AND WHATEVER ELSE COMES UP WHILE WE'RE ALL THERE TOGETHER. (please bring any extra seeds or transplants you have at home that you'd like to see growing at the Garden)

Things are looking great, thanks to lots of great collaboration so far. 

It'll be fun to be together at the same time with many of you Thursday!

See you there,

Shannon
