Community garden to
be a community effort
Lakeshore Advance
Calling all gardeners! The Grand
Bend Community Foundation
Environment committee in partner-
ship with the Grand Bend Community
Health Centre have created a
demonstration communal garden for
the 2011 planting season.
Under the leadership of chair Harlie
Johnston, the committee has been
working on this idea for two years, and
are very excited that it's happening,
The CHC has contributed the land
and with assistance from Miranda
Burgess, who has experience with the
Zurich community garden there will
be a 20' x 30' raised garden.
Volunteer Walt Michielsens has
contributed a huge amount of time
and materials, for this garden.
Hayley Hartford of Earthly Designs
will be designing and planting
landscaping around the edge of the
prden using native plants, designed to
demonstrate what can be done with
native plants.
The goal is to be as organic and
environmentally friendly as possible.
There are plans for a compost heap
and rain barrels, and Hartforf will be
consulting with us on how to control
pests organically.
"The garden will be communal, with
everyone taking a tum at weeding and
watering and everyone sharing the
food we produce," says committee
member Pat Morden adding they plan
to hold a harvest celebration in the
early fall.
Participants will pay 520 toward
plants and seeds.
To register call Frieda at 519-238-
2190. by May 14th, spaces will be
limited.
