Building off of the success of last year, Kids Grow! is proud to announce that we will once again be running garden events for children during the summer of 2013. Peer Helpers (student volunteers) from the Centre for Community-Engaged Learning at the University of Calgary, will facilitate weekly events to each children about gardening, food production, community building and environmental stewardship.
The Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Garden (corner of Sunnyhill Lane and 9 Ave NW) has invited us back for another year and we are excited to be returning to our lovely garden plot next to the orchard. Programming in this garden will once again run Saturdays from 10am-12pm.
Kids Grow! is excited to announce that we have also made a new partnership for the summer and will be expanding our program into another garden. We will also be facilitating workshops at the Silver Springs Community Garden (intersection of Silver Hill Road and Silver Hill Way) on Saturday afternoons from 2-4pm.
Both programs will launch on Saturday, June 8, 2013. You do not have to be a member of the garden community to attend the workshops. All events are free. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Like us on Facebook at Kids Grow Calgary to keep informed about upcoming events. We look forward to seeing you this summer.
