The Seaforth Food Bank Community
Garden has been put to bed for the win-
ter following another very successful
growing season. Along with several
beds dedicated to the Food Bank, 14
individual gardeners grew a variety of
vegetables and were generous with
their financial and produce donations
to the Food Bank. Two new exciting
additions were gardening groups from
St. James School led by Helen VanBakel
and Seaforth Public School led by
Kathy Rivett. The students lined out the
rows, planted seeds, weeded and
watered the beds and harvested the
produce until the end of the school
year. Then VanBakel and Rivett took
over the maintenance, in doing by the
harvesting and delivery of produce to
the Food Bank throughout the summer.
The Seaforth Public School had
installed composters at the school and
at the end of the season; the enthusias-
tic gardeners loaded it onto a trailer
and then spread it on their allotment
for next year.
Garden allotments at the Community
Garden are available to anyone wishing
to grow their own produce. In addition
to our in ground beds, the community
garden added five raised beds in 2015
and will be adding two more in the
spring of 2017, all thanks to Paul Vander-
Molen. They also have space available to
increase the number of in ground beds if
the requests for allotments continue to
grow. Water is available from the arena
and we also collect rainwater from the
arena roof and distribute it in water bar-
rels throughout the garden area.
