Greenways Trust Visit on June 25th

Terry shares his knowledge of micro-biology with demo Farm to School bed at the Tahsis Community Garden

Greenways Trust folk were in Tahsis last Sunday to tour the garden, see market stand 'the Local', enjoy lunch at Westview Marina, and learn about our Farm to School program. The day was capped off with a visit to the newly established Tahsis Farm.  

Many thanks to Karli and Aubrey for playing tour guides.   Have a look at  Tahsis Living Blogspot for a recap of the visit. 

1st Annual Summer Solstice Party

Many thanks to Karli for taking photographs at the Solstice garden party and for her blog post.  Have a look at

Tahsis Living 

to read the post and see more photos.  Tahsis Living is the 'go-to' page for everything Tahsis.    

Twenty-four people came out to welcome summer and share some lovingly prepared food.  We had a proper garden blessing, summery tunes, a nice fire kindled with blackberry brambles, and fair weather.

A heartfelt thanks to the awesome volunteers who helped with setup and takedown.   Kudos esp to Rita and Blake who gave the grass a nice trim, cleaned up the chairs, and for donating the fireworks.  What a way to kick off summer!

Second Mason bee house

At a farmers' market in Port Alberni, I found this Mason bee house for a ridiculously good price. Have put it up on the wishing well. Not sure if Mason bees return to their original house to lay eggs or if some will use this one. If not this year, maybe next.
