Hello Livingstone Community,
Thank you very much to everyone who has made ‘Livingstone Green’ such a huge success. On Saturday Sept 17th approximately thirty people from our Community came together to plant ten fruit tress, seven fruit shrubs and build ten garden beds.
There have been many inquiries regarding the specific logistics about the gardens future: What are we going to plant? Who is on the gardening club? What’s next?
To address a few of those questions:
- Soil for the garden beds will arrive on Tuesday Sept 20.
- We plan on planting a ‘cover crop’ produce such as rye or red clover until the spring months.
- Our present ‘Livingstone Green’ team that consists of seven amazing grade 6 students will expand into a ‘Gardening Club.’ Any student who is interested can join the gardening club.
- We are still waiting for our compost centre to be built and fencing to go up.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and for your generous donations. This could not have been a success without you.
Our team has been invited by the Vancouver Foundation on Thursday October 27th, 5-7pm at Van Dusen Garden, to celebrate our success. You are all invited and rumour has it that the mayor will be there to celebrate with us.
I would like to acknowledge the amazing donations from UBC Botanical Garden, J&J Bean, The Home Depot, A1Tool, Rocky Mountain Flatbread. Also a thank you to the moms who came together to bake goodies like ginger cake. Lastly, we cant forget the ‘Vancouver Foundation’ because without their generous $12,500 grant this would not be possible.
Cheers,
Jennifer Fischer
