Ban on Goutweed





Thanks to all the members who contributed to our May work party, led by our WPC Amy - and special thanks to little Jack, Charlie and Lola - our doggie members (Biscuit stayed home to catch up on his napping!). The Ban on Goutweed is underway and some great progress was made on the front boulevard to get rid of this pesky weed. The compost was turned and finished black gold distributed...fabulous new steps and entrance in front of the new west gate were designed and installed, and general weeding was done throughout the garden. A good start was made to creating a new compost screener with leftover wood from the fence project and the grass was cut. Our day ended with our neighbourhood Whole Food's generous repast of sandwiches, chips, vegetables & dip and fruit as well as home made Jerusalem Artichoke snacks - yum.

i have to admit i don't look at this site very often...even though i'm a member. but now that i looked through all the photos, i was struck by all the smiles and happy people helping each other and the garden. i've seen it while at the parties, but it is different to see it in this web-space all collected together. pretty neat!
