Park n’ Play n’ Stay

The Community garden has teamed up with The City of Calgary to provide a space for those growing minds to learn about gardening!

A team of community members got together and created booklets identifying different fruits and vegetables, insects, and weeds found in the community garden.

Alberta Environment donated trees for every child to take home and plant in their home backyard! The kids were very excited to get home to plant their new trees. Hopefully we’ll see them popping up within the next couple of years.

GreenGate donated some vegetables for the children to take care of throughout the week that they are at the garden. This was a big hit! All the kids were willing to get in there and plant their veggies, water them, and make sure there aren’t any weeds cropping up close by!

Overall, the children learnt a lot at the community garden and we hope to continue with our community involvement at a larger scale next summer.
