Recap of Movie Night

Despite complications with the weather and multiple DVD players, Movie Night was a success and everyone had a great time. The documentary was eye opening and depressing at times. It made me think of all the other environmental movies that have been so ground breaking in the past. I found this top ten list that everyone should check out!

Awesome Information about Edible Native Plants!

Cherry Dodd from the Edmonton Naturalization Group kindly sent me this article about native plants that are edible. Very interesting and something to consider when planting your garden at home.

Welcome to the Blog!

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it is almost July and our gardens around campus are doing amazing!



The Community Campus Garden has received a lot of TLC and therefore we have so much sprouting and growing. We have had many successful Saturday meet-ups already and accomplished a lot. Although so much work has been done, we can look forward to more in the coming months including maintenance and harvesting .

The Naturalization Site has finally got some attention and is looking great. After two visits from members of the ENG (Edmonton Naturalization Group) the site is looking beautiful. We are currently waiting for native plants and will continue working on the site.

Even though the weeds seemed like they had control, our awesome volunteers worked so hard at the Eco House plot and were able to weed and plant the plot. Our focus now is maintaining our plants and not forgetting they have to be watered.

Stay tuned for more events and updates,

Campus Gardens Coordinator
