Wow - what an inspiration the town of Tahsis is! Check out what a group of people accomplished in their community garden on a rainy Saturday (that would be yesterday).
Three of us met to do a little bit of digging in Tofino's first community garden at the Tofino Botanical Gardens. We turned in the fall rye and had a tour of where the new garden beds will be. The wood should arrive soon and we hope to construct the boxes for the beds in the next week or so.
If you are interested in a community garden plot, here are the details:
Eight 4' x 6' (1.2m x 1.8m) plots are available at the community garden site in the Tofino Botanical Gardens (TBG). Plots are available for a one-year lease and come ready to plant with access to garden tools and water. (The annual lease fee of $75 also includes a one-year membership to the TBG.) Preference will be given to people without secure access to garden space. Gardeners must make a one-year commitment and sign a user agreement. If you are interested in a plot, please contact the TCFI at tofinolocalfood@yahoo.ca by March 11.
A meeting of all community garden plot owners will take place at the end of March or early April. A soil preparation workshop/work bee will take place April 15th, so please be prepared to attend this.
