Christie Pits Community Garden Groundbreaking Event

Date: Sunday May 31

Time: 11am (Pizza around 2pm)

Location: Christie Pits Park!

Map

The garden area is in the south west corner of the park

What to Bring: bring your gloves, shovels, watering cans, (and your water bottles), wheelbarrows and get ready to dig!

Help us get the Christie Pits Community Garden off the ground!

We will be digging, planting, creating paths and eating pizza on Sunday to get this garden growing. There will be experienced gardeners on hand to answer questions, fresh pizza from the Christie Pits bake oven, a visit from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone and music for your enjoyment. In exchange, bring your gloves, shovels, watering cans, wheelbarrows and get ready to dig!

The soil in Christie Pits is in desperate need of compost. We built compost tumblers so that we will have rich, organic compost in 3 weeks. Bring us your vegetable scraps, egg shells and coffee grinds so we can get the compost started. Please note: with the exception of egg shells, compost donations need to be vegan and oil free in order to cut down on odours and have a quick turn around time.

Pizza and water will be supplied, please bring your own water bottle so we can cut down on waste.

Even if you are not directly involved in the garden, if you have questions, contributions, or just want to get your hands dirty for a day come see us on Sunday, we have lots to do!
