August Events



Hello everyone! We've got some wonderful events coming up in the gardens this weekend and next. Spread the word, invite your friends, join the community, make a day of it! Hope to see you there!!

'Gourmet from the Garden' with chef David Tombs of Terra Restaurant
Saturday August 18th at 10 am, 121 Victoria St

It's getting to be harvest time, and if you're not sure how to cook up all the delicious treats you've worked so hard to grow in your garden, come see how the pros do it! Watch and participate as David cooks up a dish using ingredients from the garden. Promises to be an educational and delicious workshop :)

Family Day
Sunday August 19th, 10 am - 1 pm, McDonald Park Demonstration Garden

We want to get the kids learning about growing a garden! Bring the whole family on Sunday for a visit to the new demonstration public produce and community garden at McDonald Park - there will be craft booths, face painting, veggies for snacking, and workshops for the kids about dirt, bugs, and seeds. 
** We are still looking for volunteers to help out with this event - please email us if you are willing to help out, even for a little bit! Thanks!

Summer Wrap-Up: Local Eats Challenge Potluck

We've had a great summer season, and we want to celebrate with our friends! Come join in our celebratory potluck lunch in the garden - the challenge is to bring a dish using as many local ingredients as possible. Prizes available! Please provide a recipe with your dish. 

See you in the garden,
