Flowers, flowers, flowers! 🌸🌼🌻 It’s been so lovely to see our blooms going wild this season. Emilie has been making such beautiful arrangements for our CSA shares, and we’ve had so many flowers that we started offering a little bouquet bar on Tuesdays! 💐
When members come to pick up their veggies, they can choose their own flowers and make a bouquet by donation- and it’s been such a hit. Thanks for supporting our flower program!

This Friday is our Open House! Join us from 3-5 for a bouquet bar, mini-market sampler, and some insight into why our backs always hurt with a Seed ID game! At 4PM Lea will walk a group around our site, touring our Grow Your Own Food Course, Community Gardens, and Urban Farm spaces around the Oak Care Centre site. Meet our staff and hopefully some of our community of volunteers, community gardeners, course participants and CSA members make an appearance 🤞Our site is accessible though it’s good to note that we are on quite a sloping hill.
