Everyone is invited to join us for Planting Day scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, at 9am at the Giving Garden. It is located on County Road 43 and Anniversary Way across from Creekside Centre. Many of you have seen the sign on 43 and have perhaps wondered what was happening there. The Giving Garden is a place where everything that grows is a gift, intended to be harvested when ready, and given in random acts of kindness throughout the commu-
nity. When the produce is ready, it can be harvested by anyone and given to anyone. The Garden gives in many ways, to both the giver and the receiver, and is run solely on the time of dedicated volunteers. The property, located on Ferguson Forestry land, has become a park-like setting that encourages visitors to slow down, and relax a bit, enjoy a book, or their lunch at the picnic table by the flower wheel at the back of the property. We are continually looking for volunteers to help at the Giving Gar-
1
den. In July and August volunteers gather for ‘Weedless Wednesdays’ in the mornings and work together to maintain the weeds once the crops begin to sprout. Can’t join us Wednesdays, but would like to help? You’re welcome to volunteer whatever time you can at the Giving Garden. The shed has tools that have been donated that you can use if you wish to spend some quiet time alone in nature. We are forever grateful for our continuing partnerships with the FFC, the Municipality, St
Michael CHS, KPS last year, and the local nurseries who provide plants in spring. This season, the Salvation Army will plant a plot specifically for the Food Bank. Giving Garden founder, the late Terry McEvoy, believed that random acts of unconditional giving could have a transformative effect. In these challenging times for many we must continue to believe that Hope Blooms. Questions? Please contact michelleroussellemcevoy@gmail. com.
