MEETING AT THE BISTRO

There is a meeting of those interested in the on site garden Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.at the Bistro for all interested in how the garden is shaping up.  I understand some would like personal small plots while others would like a communal garden.  Take the time to put in your 2 cents!          I will be there to hear what is going on and will report back afterwards. I can think of a couple of ways this would work in everyones's favour, whether of this thought or that, so do come if you'd like information.
Remember how the onsite Bistro was first open and then the residents  decided to have a coffee time on Tuesdays?  That is the stage that the new garden area is at  right now.  We have to decide how to use the garden facility to every resident who is interested's advantage so everyone can be happy!

These shots were taken Sunday morning...a LOT of dirt was shovelled and it sounded like many were having fun putting this together.   



I was informed that fencing would be going up this weekend, but that was not something that the management said to me, just what I heard from one of the workers.



  The tawny and white cotton tail rabbits that are all over the meadows are just that: meadow grazers.  They are reputed to be natural to the area and won't burrow through the grounds.  I hope this is true!! 
  A new salt is now available through BUCKERFIELDS outside Duncan, that keeps driveways clear of weeds.  The name is: 
CARGILL: kiln dried medium salt.it comes in big bags and is $13.00 a bag.  Not a bad price for the permenant reduction of weeds on our gravel drives! Lynda Cliff brought an empty bag that she uses at her home drive to Kelly Ockey.  Areas that growth is totally unwanted would benefit by this addition to the gravel. 

Again, Have a great Day!

 By July the garden at Chemainus Garden was in full swing.  New beds were constructed that weren't claimed. Many pros...
