We are famous! The Capital Current wrote about us in a recent issue, Growing concern: Second community garden opens on NCC land in bid to battle food insecurity in Hintonburg-Mechanicsville area
And so did the Hintonburg Community Association ! We blush…
David Walsh at PCL has had a temporary ramp installed to aid wheelchair and other access to Goldenrod while construction continues along Parkdale. The new ramp is within the same parking lot, slightly west of the old access point.
Coming Soon. NOMINATIONS –
Goldenrod Community Garden BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The first Annual General Meeting for the garden is planned for October 2021, when a new Board of Directors will be elected. Nominations for this Board are now sought from current gardening members and Friends of the Garden. Why not consider submitting your name and make a valuable contribution to the future of the Goldenrod Community Garden? You can nominate yourself, a fellow gardener, or a Friend of the Garden. Further details and links will be arriving in your inbox soon. Watch for it!
Goldenrod has been gifted a pop-up tent and two chairs. They are for future workshops or circles happening in the garden. We thank the Tool Library’s Chris Osler for the donation.
Just want to give a shout-out to the Build committee again because the new fencing around the water tanks is very handsome.
Are your tomato plants suffering? Are the leaves withering? Seems like the culprit might be leaf mold. You can find out more about it here.
Finally, don’t forget to check out our Gardening Tips page. You will find a new and very interesting item about what to plant now for an autumn harvest. And please email Goldenrod if you have tips to share. Please put “Tips” in the subject line.
Happy Harvesting!
Tunney’s Pasture redevelopment
What happens at Tunney's Pasture will have a significant impact on the residents of our neighbourhood; the housed and the homeless, the advantaged and the disadvantaged.
The community associations representing Wellington Village, Champlain Park, Hintonburg and Mechanicsville have formed Neighbours for Tunney’s to focus on these and other Tunney’s Pasture redevelopment-related issues. Click this link for more information.
Community Resources, Responding with Compassion
As we continue to educate ourselves on sharing the public space that is Goldenrod, members have found these 2 links very helpful.
