Editor:
Last November, I and four other community organizations approached Sechelt council with the proposal to build a community garden along the boulevard space on Ocean Avenue looking out from the library at Cowrie, north to Dolphin, (top end of Hackett park). Council responded with unanimous support for the project. So, you may have noticed in the last week new raised box planters at the Dolphin Street end of Ocean Avenue.
This holiday Monday, May 20 from noon to 2 p.m., the public is invited to attend a family seedling planting party. Refreshments will be supplied along with a generous supply of seedlings ready for planting. So please attend this community event get acquainted with the project, meet some fellow citizens, get your hands dirty or bring a hand trowel, and for sure bring your children.
Don Robb, Board member for Ocean Vegetables Community Farm
