It is finally Fall and the new garden season is upon us. We have 67 plots this year and room for more
gardeners. On Oct 1 you may begin working your plot. All plots have new, fresh soil and are ready for
planting.

This year we will have Learn in the Garden sessions that will cover a variety of topics. We will be looking
for Artists interested in Art in the Garden, including a large Mural Wall.

A new Garden Coordinator has been hired by Friendship Village. Sean Hitch will be in the garden Mon-
Fri, 7-11 to answer questions and assist gardeners. In December we will be opening a third Memorial
Rose Bed for those interested in a memorial rose.

Two shade structures are in the works. The first will be located in the rose garden and the second mid-
garden near the communal shed. New garden benches will be installed throughout the garden this year.

On October 23 (Saturday) T 8:30am a garden opening Coffee ‘Meet and Greet’ will be held. All are
welcome to visit the garden. Family and friends are welcome.

If you are a new gardener and wish to join and are not yet on the waiting list, please contact Sandy
Reinhardt (fecgarden@gmail.com). The annual fee of $100 is the lowest of all the community gardens in town.
If you haven’t gotten around to paying your fee, please do as soon as possible so you don’t miss out on
the fun in the garden.

Looking forward to seeing you in the garden…
