Acadia Community Garden Monthly get together - Winter Sowing with Joanne Nemeth Calgary Coop Community Room 7-8:30 November 20, 2013

Imagine being able to start seeds outdoors in the dead of winter, without grow lights, heat mats or fans. Sounds impossible, right? But it isn’t!

Join Joanne Nemeth on Wednesday, November 20th and she will show you how to start annuals, perennials and even trees and shrubs without all the usual fuss of indoor seed starting. And come spring, you’ll have lots of hardy little plants for a fraction of the cost at a nursery.

All welcome!

Sunday, Octoe 6th fro 2:00 - 4:00 (ish) First Harvest Celebration

We would like to invite all gardeners, friends of gardeners and would-be gardeners to gather at our Community Garden on Sunday, October 6th from 2:00 until 4:00 (ish).

We will celebrate our year of success by sharing in each other's company and the knowledge with have gained at our first of many-to-come harvests.

During our visiting time we are also hoping to clear a bit of sod along the fence so in the spring we'll be able to plant some sweet pea seeds.

Please bring:

- A light snack for sharing (from your garden, if you can, would be awesome)

- your own non-alcoholic beverage (if you wish)

- a lawn chair

- a shovel

We will take some time to relax, chat, talk about what worked, what didn't and dream about next year's garden.

See you there!
