It may have seemed like nothing has been going on with your Community Garden but the Board has been busy!
After 6 months of work, the Colwood Garden Society (yep that is our official name) has an agreement with the City of Colwood. We have investigated insurance for the site, created the garden layout, put together a budget for the build, created our organizations logo and came up with a few ideas for products to sell.
The good news… We have an approved Garden Layout and we have an approved logo, see below.
What do you think? Our Logo was designed and painted by one of our board members, Joanna MacDougall. She did a fabulous job for us!

Please keep checking back as we are posting current information on Facebook…
Next step is fundraising!
Over the fall and winter we need to raise funds. We are finalizing a package of information about the Society that can be offered to businesses when asking for donations.
Events to date:
- Presentation to Rotary for funds, mid-October
- Christmas Craft Fair -We have a table at the Church of the Advent – on Saturday November 15, 2014 – 10 am to 3 pm. A great opportunity for us to inform the public of the garden, fundraise, as well as gain further membership.
More to come…
We are looking for more help from all of you at this time for fundraising support. If you would like to be a part of a fundraising committee, please email us.
If you have any ideas for fundraising please let us know.
Looking forward to digging in the dirt together!
The Colwood Garden Society Board
