What an amazing build today! Andy, Kierra and I thought we were the only ones that were coming and throughout the build at least 15 other gardeners, including four amazing community youth) showed up and helped. It was so inspiring! Thank you everyone!
We met a wonderful group of young people growing beautiful tomato plants in their greenhouse.
We also met a lovely woman from Kazakhstan that is going to help us with the the ethnic community bed. She is researching the seeds that her mother planted in Kazakshstan when she was young for us. If you have ideas for our ethnic edible experimental bed, it will be ready to plant after the next build.
We will be building more beds in the next couple of weeks - two community beds to share with everyone in the community - the ethnic edibles bed and the herbs and lettuces bed! We will also get started on the composting system!
We started at 9 am and finished around 1:30 pm. What a great day in the sun!
Thank you to the Acadia Strong Neighbourhood Initiative Grant for making the compost and shared community bed build possible!
If you have a great idea, please talk to them and see if you can apply for a grant for your great idea too!
