Almost ready
I swung by the garden today to see if the soil had been delivered. It had, and hardy volunteers were shovelling away. We are on track to choose plots and start planting on June 9!

Welcome to the Deer Ridge Community Garden
Calgary's newest community garden is about to open! Dedicated volunteers from the Deer Ridge Community Association have been spending hours pulling this together, building raised beds, and working with the city. On Sunday, June 9, we'll convene and pick out our beds and start planting!
To do:
Here are some pictures from May 26. You can see where the watering spouts will be, before the soil gets added.o At the bottom of the beds are weeping tiles and drainage spouts. The DRCA is donating the soil - thank you!
If you are interested in joining the garden, please contact Bob Hall or any Deer Ridge Community Association director.
I hope to see many people on June 2!
To do:
- Form an organization! It doesn't have to be formal and bogged down by rules and regulations, but in order to work with the Deer Ridge Community Association and the city, it is a necessity. There are some group decisions to be made, like what to do with any extra beds.
- Find a representative to serve on the board of the Deer Ridge Community Association. This person must not already serve on the board.
- Plant and maintain our beds, adding to the beauty of Deer Ridge.
