Remember: sust-mar messages must be plain text format (no html). Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello! It looks like the Gorsebrook Gardens Project is a go! The North End Community Gardening Association (NECGA) is breaking ground on a new community garden project in the South End of Halifax. Located off Wellington Street near Peter Green Hall, the garden will feature a number of raised bed vegetable gardens and native trees and shrubs. While the official opening won't be until the end of May, we are planning to have a group work day on Tuesday, May 13 from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM to begin preparing the site. Representatives from the Resource Recovery Fund Board will also be on hand to kick off the Plant-A-Row/Grow-A-Row Program for 2003. If you'd like to help out we'd love to see you there! Give us a call or visit our website for more information. Come help us grow! ______________________________________________ David McCall Project Coordinator NECGA 3083 Olivet Street - Suite 1210 Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3L 4R2 Ph: (902) 422-5744 Email: necga@chebucto.ns.ca Web: http://www.necga.chebucto.org ______________________________________________ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- SUST-MAR is provided FREE by the Chebucto Community Net and YOU!
