Weekly update

Hello All,

We had a great turn out of new gardeners Tuesday night. Plenty of free advice was being shared with a local Esquaimalt organic seeds and greenhouse operator: Coral from Brother Nature.

We prepared the soil for the planting of the two indigenous Redcurrant bushes. There was a workshop with EHS students on Wednesday morning who planted these with some guidance.

On Wednesday morning I met the soil delivery and we have our latest load of garden soil from Integrity Sales. We now have the soil and lumber to complete the remaining 3.75 beds. However, what is missing is some
gardeners and garden supporters to rally out this upcoming Tuesday after the long (and hopefully restful) weekend. I still suffer with a broken elbow/shoulder and cannot handle a wheelbarrow yet, but will do my best.

We will do the assembly of the garden beds right in the park. Then a dinner out? We can get it all ready and the beds filled in 2hrs with at least six people! Then Dinner :)

If we get this done now, we will have completed the whole garden in less than one year. Wow. Imagine what it will look like next year...

Regards
Mark Salter
