Flux Communnity Garden!






Hi All – It is that time of year, planting season!!!!  Charity Marsh is doing some last minute prep on the front space, tilling it up to get it ready for a-planting!  The plan this year is to focus the crop on Tomatoes and Swiss Chard, these two items seem to thrive in the space.


We are looking for people interested in helping with the garden.  Help in the labour, share in the harvest (yum garden tomatoes!!).  We are having a meeting to discuss the plan for the garden at the MacTavish gym. 

If you are interested in participating in the garden come on out:
Friday- May 24 @ 6 pm
Planting will happen – May 25 @ 9 am
Bring yourself and $10 (to go toward supplies/seed/etc.)


 At the meeting we will lay out the plan/schedule for planting and weeding.  Darci and Charity will take care of the watering..  And eventually we will all participate in the harvest.
This is a great way to get to hang out with some flux folk away from the gym.  Come out if you would like to take part in the flux garden, many hands makes light work folks.

Thanks,
Coach Darci, Garden Chair
