Pender Island has been part of the “whole community” vaccination program, and collectively our first level of immunity should be coming online just about now.

It’s also planting time for our new gardens!

We want to celebrate both with a “new normal” planting party. Join us this Saturday, May 15th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm for a covid-safe day of fun in the sun. The garden beds are ready and waiting for seeds and starts.

We’ll have the seeds, the plan, and the guidance to help you have fun getting your hands dirty and learning a little more about companion planting and soil health.

We’ll be following Provincial Health Guidelines. All activities will be outside and distanced and we encourage all those attending to still wear masks. The bathroom will be equipped with sanitizer. Sadly, this also means that we won’t be sharing food with you – as much as we would love to!

Wear appropriate clothes and footwear for the garden and bring a pair of gloves and a hat if you have them. We are treating the time as an open-house, so feel free to stop by for only part of the time is that’s what fits you best.

Please register here so we know how many people to expect.  (We are planning to keep the numbers small in light of covid.)

And let us know if you have any questions and see you soon!
