Neighbour Night: Thursday, May 2 – Watercolour Painting with Melisa
In this session you will have the opportunity to make a bookmark or greeting card on watercolour paper mounted on an upcycled cardstock. This is a calming activity that helps with focus and creative expression. All materials are provided (although you are welcome to bring some of your own if you have them).
Neighbour Night: Thursday, May 16 – Flower Bomb with Melisa
This session has been a popular one for a few years now at neighbour night, if you have not been, don’t miss it, you are sure to learn some new tips. We will cover some seed basics and how to make a flower bomb with local seeds to brighten up your yard, balcony or give as a gift. As we anticipate the coming growing season, we will have some discussion about using grey water for our gardens. Melisa will lead us with tips and tricks for a successful burst of flowers this season.

Shared Garden Volunteer Opportunities
Now recruiting gardeners and gardeners-in-training for the 2024 Shared Garden season! Spend a few hours a week tending to this volunteer-run community garden and feeding your community! The Shared Garden differs from a traditional community garden because everyone works together to tend to all the plots, instead of having your own. All volunteers are welcome to share in the bounty, and the extra produce is donated to HSCA’s Sustainable Food Program to feed neighbours struggling to afford good food. The Shared Garden is seeking general garden volunteers (to support planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting – no experience necessary!) Reach out to at [email protected] for more information.
