WE DID IT!

5 strong mamas wielding power tools, shovels and accompanied by 9 children can do a lot in 2 hours!  Now the teachers can use garden beds for their classrooms to learn their biology, botany and more.
We were recently gifted with 270 King Alfred Narcissus bulbs from VanDusen Botanical Gardens, so they might pop up here in the spring...

Where did the soil go?

One mound down, one more to go

Next step:  spread the compost mulch around the naturalized garden.

We do this every other year to amend the soil and keep the plants healthy.

Four brave souls got wet but the garden beds are full!  

Rumour has it pumpkins may magically appear this fall :-)

There is still lots to do this year:  

weeding, levelling square beds and installing brackets, relocating composter.  

We'll get the students to plant some cover crops;

plants that act like a winter blanket until this garden comes alive next spring.

Watch your backpacks for more information;

Many hands get things done, half the work but twice the fun

We have a load of organic veggie garden mix from www.westcreekfarms.com and a complimentary load of compost mulch through our City of Vancouver Green Streets.  The soil goes in the planter boxes, and the compost mulch can be added in, as well as spread throughout our naturalized tree and shrub area.

The large planter boxes need landscape fabric and then are ready to fill up.

Bring a shovel and wheelbarrow if you have one - but we have lots.

Soil arrives Friday

Friday June 13th we have a load of compost mulch coming from the City of Vancouver and a load or organic veggie soil from West Creek Farms.

Friday Tamara will begin to line the boxes with landscape fabric and Think and Eat Green will come 9-10am. From then on, we can start to fill the boxes with soil, and the remaining mulch will spread throughout the naturalized area to keep the trees healthy.

Anyone with a shovel can come and do some filling.  We'll post work parties as they come up.  We can fill this weekend June 15 & 16 and weekday evenings next week when it's cool out.  If you have a shovel, you can come anytime that works for your family.

Then, we can fill 'er up with seedlings anxiously awaiting to spread their roots out.

Please come and lend a hand - every bit helps.  We have shovels of all sizes :-)
