Multicultural Upick beds
Multicultural Upick Beds – Growing Together
The theme this year is the Philippines! We are excited to start researching plants that might grow in both Calgary and the Philippines, and ideas of what can be grown in Calgary as substitutes for plants commonly found in Philippine cooking. We also are collecting trivia, history, recipes, etc on all things Filipino to share on social media, our community bulletin board and website. If you have ideas, thoughts, tidbits to share please send them toinfo@growingacadia.ca or join in the conversations that will be starting on social media. We are also looking for volunteers to maintain these community upick beds.
Upcoming Event: Community Sign Raising: May 7th
May 7th is the community sign raising – all are welcome to watch or help set up the community bulletin board and garden sign.
The event is from 9 am until 12 noon. Donations of refundable pop bottles/can are being accepted at this time also to help us “grow the garden” and pay our annual insurance.
May 7th 1:00 – 3:00 pm (after the sign raising event) is the gardeners/volunteers afternoon picnic and orientation – its a chance to get to know each other and play some old fashioned games in the garden. Bring your picnic and lawn chairs/blankets and any outdoor games you might like to play.
