Q & A social for the Acadia Community Garden and Art Society Wed June 18th 7-8:30 pm (last one until Sept)

The last Q & A Social at Calgary Co-Op until September.

Wednesday, June 18th 7-8:30 pm
In the community room on the second floor - Calgary Co-Op.

This is an organizing type social - come find out about committees that are forming. You are welcome to join one or more - we would love to have your enthusaism, passion, ideas and involvement in our committees.

Damon is looking for people to help him with the excitng work of overall plan incorporating all the great ideas, from placement of the little free library - yes we have it, to the food forest, next raised beds, pergola, etc - how should we tweak the design to make it all just right!

Thank you to Calgary Reads for donating a little free library shaped like a little birdhouse to the garden. It came all primed and ready for painting. If you have a great idea for the little free library and want to paint it, we are looking for design submissions and a volunteer painter.

Soul of the City grant event, Growing Acadia: Art and Garden Come Together - Augst 9th - its going to be fabulous our block party with great hotdogs and hamburgers from M & M Meats and cooked by fabulous volunteers from M & M Meats! Bouncy house, childrens toss games by Alliance Entertainment, and of course our community mural painting project - watch for the official announcement of our wonderful mural artist. Thank you to our fabulous neighbours by the garden - we were able to talk to 17 houses and we received 100% support for the project and a fabulous donation from one of the neighbours! We love our neighbours! Thank you for all your support and encouragement. Watch for our ad in the July & August "Hello Acadia". Our charitable partners, the Lutheran Church of Our Saviour have put their hearts and hands into helping make this event special. We are so glad to be getting to know them and appreciate all their efforts! Thank you!

Lawn Chair Theater is August 27th (not Augst 29 as previously published - my mistake). Its going to be great. The line up of performers is tentative but from what I have heard - its going to be a great evening of free entertainment. More to come!

So much is happening at the garden! Watch for splashes of art to appear as artists are starting on projects to brighten up the garden fence, shed and bench.

Remember - if you have a great idea and would like to see something happening in the garden - please contact us. It's our garden and the more of us involved, the more beautiful and enriching it becomes for all of us!

Thank you to the amazing board and volunteers and gardeners - you are phenomenal - without you - the garden would not exist!
