Tip Toe... Through the Tulips...







Well, ok, there aren't any tulips on our entrance boulevard but there should be! A gorgeous path has been created by two of our dedicated members - David and Alison - to help us all with our weeding duties on our signature entrance garden. Perennials have been moved into a more pleasing placement to allow for the meandering path - and new scrumptious flowers have been planted.

Step One - the pathway was determined by literally 'walking the walk'... leveling the path and then laying the beach shells to form the
base. Step Two - cold calling Northwest Landscape & Stone Supply for a donation of stepping stones. David spoke to Bill who kindly agreed to donate not only Bluestone stepping stones quarried from Vancouver Island - but also beautiful Oro Verde gravel and aqua and blue tumbled beach glass. It was like Christmas! There was enough that the Herb Garden also benefited. The Oro Verde has used to improve our flagstone pathway at the back. Thank you so much Bill for your generosity and also for the personal delivery - it was really inspiring. Step Three - laying of the stones on a rainy old Saturday afternoon... a one man job by David.

The boulevard will now be easier to access via our charming pathway - for our constant need to weed out the dreaded gout
weed.

Thank you to David and Alison for creating our wonderful new path which will look fabulous rain or shine.

Spring 2010 Work Party - Gold!



















The Kitsilano Community got off to a great start for the 2010 gardening season. The weather was AMAZING and we had an enthusiastic turn out for our Ma'nure and spring clean-up work party. Besides the distribution of our lovely organic manure, tons of other stuff got done - with mostly smiles all around! Some of the highlights... entrance boulevard cleanup... widening the main flagstone path...hobbit tree beautification... garden shed re-organization... weeding, weeding, weeding... did I mention weeding?
Kind thanks to Kevin at the 3515 w. 4th IGA and Lawrence at the 2948 w. 4th Starbucks for donating healthy snacks and coffee to keep everyone fueled and raring to go.
