Earth Day at the Kavanah Garden

About 20 volunteers came out to help us set up the Kavanah Garden for the 2012 growing season. Together, we re-built and beautified elements of the garden in preparation and anticipation for our last year at this site.

Yup, you heard me, 2012 will be our last year at this site. After four years at 18 Lebovic Campus Drive, we will be moving. The new Kavanah Garden will be directly east of the existing garden.  We will be at the new site for a very long time and are super excited about all the possibilities of growing there. A huge thank you to the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto for continuing to support us.

Back to our Earth Day accomplishments. Here is a list of some of the projects we worked on:

 1.We weeded, tilled and redefined the beds



2. We built new raised beds


 3. We added a shade component to our pergola


4. We painted signs




5.We re-built our rainwater catchment system
6.We built a community information board
7. We cleaned up garbage

8. Most importantly, we appreciated and gave thanks for the beauty and wonder of creation



A special shout out goes to the UJA kind folks that came out for the One Spring Day volunteer event.

Stay tuned for regular updates from the garden! Until then, get ready to plant your peas, spinach, radishes and greens!
