March 30th - Spring Community Garden Work Party
The weather was
exceptional and so were the four
lovely, hardworking women who showed up first thing in the morning. In
alphabetical order, Cheryl, Juanita,
Katy and Lynn, deserve a Big Thank You for all their efforts
in cleaning up our community garden. Of course our heartfelt thanks is
also extended to Terry, man amongst
men, who always works his Garden Magic for the benefit of all. Thanks
Terry!!
Apologies for not having
Juanita in the group photo. Was working so hard I never saw her leave for her lunch break.

Cheryl is one dedicated,
hard-working gal and it is to her that your Executive extend special thanks for
uprooting mega wicked blackberry vines and clearing a large area for future
planting. In all, there were 9 truckloads of blackberry vines/brambles
& sundry debris removed from the garden and it’s lookin’ good! Thanks
also goes out to Chuck for hauling
two of those truckloads away previous to the work party.
Cheryl and I were able to
save the tabletop that was leaning precariously, looking like it was about to
tip over. The legs were not rotten and Cheryl literally picked it
up…whoa!...and moved it to safer ground with more support to come. Good
going Cheryl! The words, “we are women hear us roar” came
instantly to mind. Inspiring! Chuckle.
A gentle reminder to those
who share community greenhouse space and/or have yet to clean up their
outside raised beds, please do so. We will soon be hosting a walk-through
for our guest, Todd Carnahan and want to, with pride, put our best foot
forward.
In Honour of The Garden!
