As fall rolls in, it will be time to do some harvesting, maintenance, and mulching at the kitchen garden and orchard at the Fernwood Community Centre.
It has been a really great year in the gardens! We installed three new ferro-cement garden beds in front of the centre. These beds added more space to allow us to grow things like lettuce, beans, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, beets, peppers, kale, herbs, and so much more! All the food harvested from these beds is used in our community meals.
We also planted a pollinator garden and perennial food bed to the west of the Centre. We repaired our irrigation system as well. A huge thanks to the City of Victoria’s My Great Neighbourhood Grant for providing funds to support these projects!
If you’d like to join us at the Fall Garden Work Party, please email mila@fernwoodnrg.ca or just show up. Please wear clothes that can get dirty. Lunch will be provided. Everyone welcome!
