With the New Year and new energy upon us, we have been working hard to move our community garden project forward with the goal of constructing this spring!
First, we are very excited to announce that the Colwood Rotary Club has generously provided the Colwood Garden Society with a $1000 donation to jump start the garden! We extend our heartfelt thanks to Rotary for their support of, and belief in, our community garden! This donation has allowed us to move forward with securing our insurance, a requirement in order to sign our garden lease with the City of Colwood. We are currently in discussion with Colwood to arrange a lease signing date and presentation. Stay tuned!
On this note, the next step will be moving forward with constructing our garden. We are looking for volunteers to help us in this endeavor. We are especially in need of people who have experience/knowledge of fencing and garden irrigation installation. If you are interested in participating, please let us know and we will keep you informed of timing etc.
Lastly, if you would like to rent a plot please contact us and we will get you on the list. Plot rentals are first come first serve. As a reminder, plot renters are required to be members of the Colwood Garden Society.
That’s it for now! You can email us at colwoodgardensociety@gmail.com or find us on Facebook.
We are looking forward to making this community garden a reality!
Thank you for your interest and support thus far.
