Update from the Garden Planning Meeting

Here's a little update on last Sunday's meeting.

We discussed the crops we wanted to grow this year and came up with (very, very rough) plans for the garden and container garden (below). We also decided we wanted to look into adding flowers to the gardens, as well as perennial vegetables and fruit bushes in the soil garden specifically. We'll be starting our seedlings as soon as we know we have a space in some greenhouse (we're currently looking to get into the MacDonald greenhouse). We'll open the gardens as soon as the soil is workable (probably mid to late April). We'll want to get some compost from the City of Montreal give-away if we have access to a car around that time, too.

People who couldn't attend the meeting are still welcome to volunteer with us this summer. No gardening experience is necessary.

If you have any question you can email us at campuscrops@gmail.com
