Crossroads Educational Vegetable Garden – Fall Harvest

September 24, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am

Join us for the big Fall Harvest of the Crossroads Educational Vegetable Garden from 9:00am to 11:30am on Saturday, September 24th (rain or shine) – two weeks before Thanksgiving!  Over the summer, garden volunteers have already harvested over 160 pounds of Swiss chard, kale, carrot and beets.  We should have a bumper crop at this year’s final harvest, despite the dry summer weather.

The garden is maintained by volunteers from Transition Bay St Margarets and the St Margarets Bay Food Bank. It is intended to inspire one and all in the values, health and quality benefits of ‘Grow Your Own’ vegetables. The garden rekindles the fact that most residents maintained gardens decades ago. Local food resilience helps to build a strong local economy. The Garden is one of many projects of Transition Bay St Margarets (see: www.transitionbay.ca).
