What’s New In The Gardening Community?

nEWS

Our annual Plant Sale was a success. 351 people walked through the doors and we don’t think anyone left empty handed. The plant sale only works when there are members who are willing to organize, volunteer and participate. Members grew plants from seeds, did some plant sitting, divided their perennials and arranging donations for the fabulous silent auction prizes. A special thanks to everyone who helped out and for those who attended and bought from the sale.

A brand new Junior Garden Club has been created by the EKGC. They held their first meeting at the West Kildonan Library on Saturday May 2. The 15 gardeners ranged in ages from 3-12 and they got the opportunity to make a garden art piece with succulents for Mother’s Day. There are 3 more events planned over the spring/summer/fall. A big thank you to Rory from Dads Woodworking Garage for the wooden planters (see sponsor page). Angela Moisey for the moss, bark and rocks (see sponsor page). Darby for the succulents, Pam for the kid’s aprons gloves, paint supplies, France for pansies and butterflies, Linda for snacks and extras. This would not have been possible without the organizers / leaders Cornelia, Roswitta and Linda.
