What did we accomplish this Summer?
The summer of 2022 was a busy one for us. We are pleased to share that we successfully replaced our perimeter plots with steel plots and established the Children's Garden with the help of our friends at Harper Grey LLP. The plots are currently managed by the little gardeners at: Creekside Daycare and Everyday Sunshine Family Daycare.
Here are some other projects that we have in the works:
- Replacing the mural on the ESS container
- Hosting a vermicomposting workshop
- Updating our signage
- Building a mason bee home
- Starting a Seed Library
If you'd like to help us out on any of these projects, we'd love to hear from you!
We have a new logo!
In addition to all our work in the garden, we also came up with a new swanky logo!
