Looking for Locally Grown Organic Produce?
A new project is in the works at the Garden Path Society in the community of Inglewood in Calgary, Alberta. An Urban Garden Cooperative will be grown in a new section of land next to the existing community garden. The Garden Path Society will be donating some of the produce and the rest can be bought as shares, to be harvested twice weekly in the summer. If you volunteer time in the garden you can receive discounts off the organic produce.
Please contact Jackie - jdpuff@gmail.com (283-5952) for information or to volunteer.
