Garden Seminar: Composting; Saturday, September 28 @ 2pm, The CampusRoots Garden (Weather permitting)

Good soil doesn't just happen.  It is created by amending what we have with rich, composted vegetation. 

The Garden has 3 composters to help our garden community build compost for use in developing our garden plots.  Composting is not unlike cooking -- you need the correct ingredients in the correct proportions, mixed at the correct time.

So let's put those composters to use!  Come to this seminar and let's cook up some compost!

Presenter:  Leona Jacobs

Location:  The CampusRoots Garden (Parkway Drive)
Date:  Saturday, 2013 September 28 (Weather Permitting!)
Time:  2-3pm

Please NOTE: 

• This seminar is open to the public. 
• Public are asked to RSVP to campusroots@uleth.ca. 
• Public will be asked to sign a waiver before being able to attend.

Its Back! Our "Fall into Spring" Garden Bulb Fundraiser!

In waning days of this summer, why not look forward to next spring … especially spring flowers!  As a fundraiser, the Campus Roots Community Garden Association is proud to be working with Vesey's Bulbs to bring you a selection of quality fall flower bulbs at great prices.  Funds raised will be used to complete the expansion of the campus community garden in 2014.

Fall bulbs are planted in the fall and are among the earliest blooming flowers in the spring. Bulbs are a fun and low-maintenance way to add colour and texture to your garden. They can even be grown in pots, both indoors and out, and are great for cut flowers. Returning year after year, bulbs make great naturalizers. 

Details on the fundraising program:

• All bulbs are guaranteed to meet with your approval upon delivery
• No additional shipping costs or taxes
• Every package comes with planting information
• 50% of total sales will help Campus Roots improve the campus community garden
