April Work Party - it rocked

Thanks to Amy our work party coordinator & our chair David for making our 2nd work party of the season such a treemendous (get it?) success.

Thanks to those garden members who enthusiastically attended our April work party - despite the threat of rain. Because of the rain and moist conditions of late, the weeds were coming out like butter! All the common areas received a weeding treatment and the garden is looking fantastic. Particular Kudos to the members who worked on the front boulevard around the gate - there isn't a weed in site.

The cottonwood trees had their shoots trimmed, the compost

bins were emptied and

aerated, the fruit trees pruned, and the Hobbit Tree was our creative

endeavour of the day. Lots of lovely little plants and seeds were popped into the finished burlap wrapped baskets and we are hoping for a luscious Hobbit Tree this season.

What made our day extra special was the absolutely

scrumptious snacks and lunch donated to our members by Christine Robertson from the Capers Whole Foods Market. Thanks to Tom and his staff at the Kits Capers on West 4th Avenue for putting the goodies together for us. I don't think we could have asked for a more generous array of goodies which included chocker-block stuffed sandwiches, chips, a vegetable tray with dip, a huge fruit tray and bottled water. It was so nice standing around the table at the back getting re-fueled and chatting with everyone. Thanks Capers!!

So many great shots of our members - enjoy!
