That good soaking snowfall and rain at the end of April and in early May really helped get some moisture into our garden beds at the community garden, and the gardeners have been super busy sowing and planting! Did you know that Calgary’s growing season averages 115 days? That doesn’t give us much time to get everything done!
May was chock full of gardening events: We held our first-ever plant and garden goods sale, as well as an olla-building workshop. We also hosted several webinars about topics such as beginner vegetable gardening and no-till gardening. Watch our Facebook page (@mysbcacalgary) and our website for all our events; you can also follow the Somerset Bridlewood Community Association on Eventbrite so that you are the first to know when tickets go on sale! Remember that your admission to all our events is free with your membership – if you still haven’t purchased yours, please go to www.mysbcacalgary.wordpress.com.
We have some exciting events planned for the summer, including garden craft sessions for the kids. We will be continuing our garden fundraising efforts to get our planned expansion off the ground (pun intended), so watch for ways you can make a difference and help!
Happy Gardening!
