Thanks!

Thank you so much for all the ones that took time to come down today to Anderson Park and share their support, ideas and suggestions.
So far we have been focusing on the approval of the garden and its design.
We have now come to a point that we have enough interest and support from the community and we are planning to construct the garden in the first week of June. No construction experience is necessary!

For all of you interested helping out, please express your interest!!!


Our next public meeting which will be held on Tuesday (May 25th) at Serious Coffee (upstairs) on Esquimalt Rd.
