Brussels Livestock report Fed steers and heifers sell barely steady 4-H group meet at community garden The fourth meeting of the Huron Harvesters was held on Tuesday, June 9 at the Wingham Community Garden. As members were arriving, they started to weed various patches of the garden. Once all members had arrived, Maisy Jefferson opened the meeting with the pledge and then Sarah Alexander and Jolande Oudshoorn led the club in some simple stretches for gardening. Afterwards, leader Mary Ellen Foran informed the groups of all the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Ontario, noting how many members were interested in the different activities, like camping and a trip to Canada’s Wonderland. Clarissa Gordon informed members that she had created the club book title page and that she planned to e-mail it to Mary Ellen. When all the business was settled, members were split into two groups. One group weeded the garden while the other group planted tomatoes and peppers in another section of the garden with the help of the community garden volunteers. About halfway through the meeting, the groups switched tasks to experience all the elements of gardening. There were also a couple members that drove the posts in for the tomato fence. Once all the weeds were removed and all the vegetables were planted, the club was given a tour of the many different trees in the small orchard next to the garden by Phil Beard of the Maitland Valley Conservation (MVCA). Phil also informed the club of a potential youth grant through Libro Credit Union to improve the community garden. The club decided to proceed with this grant application to improve the garden. The meeting was then closed with the motto. The next meeting will be Friday, June 26 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Auburn Hall. • Shrubs/Trees • Bedding Plants • Vegetable Plants • Garden décor • Red Maple Trees • Peat Moss/Mulch • Fertilizer • and much more!
