New Coordinator this Summer!

This summer we have a new project coordinator here at the Community Gardens!

I am going on maternity leave for the year and Lauren Stennett will be taking over in my place. Lauren is from Birch Hills, Saskatchewan, and currently lives with her husband in Caronport. She has worked with people and plants before and is excited to get to know and work together with our membership.

I am looking forward to this new addition to our family and appreciate all your encouragement and support. I will miss the community gardens program while I am away, but I do promise to visit!

May the summer be long and your harvest be plentiful!
