In May, we had several activities at the OCG such as orientation of new members and our sod cutting and mulch placement around the perennial beds. We also held our Plant Exchange and Sale on May 17 which saw many members and residents attend. Many gardeners have already planted some early seeds and plants hoping we don’t get a late frost.
Our fourth growing season should be rewarding with all the learnings we have received in recent years. If you want to stay connected with our activities, please join us as a level one member. Please register at https://www.oakridgecommunity.ca/ and you can participate in our fun and informative activities, including visits to private local gardens.
Save the Dates: Our OCG Near Term ‘Events’ Are:
• OCG Open Garden on July 29 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Joan Williams will present, and visitors will be welcome.
Come visit our OCG and rest awhile on our benches and at our picnic tables. Also come join our fun loving, nature focused, ‘green’ volunteers, both novices and experienced gardeners – we are all interested in learning more.
Our perennial garden and food forest is continuing to fill out and the addition of a wooden canoe in late 2022 to reflect our ‘Weaselhead’ theme should enable gardeners and local residents to reflect on nature, smell the ‘roses’, and watch the blooming flowers and busy pollinators. Everyone is invited!
Please use our free, little library so others can enjoy the books you have read or drop by and visit our notice board and website for more info on the OCG.
