Such an amazing day of community building at Calgary Seedy Saturday

Such a well organized event and great turnout, even with the slushy snow

We were thrilled to be able to highlight communal gardening with our friends from River run communal garden, selling previously loved books to support the garden and then also creating a community garden for the children’s table where children were able to create flowers with reclaimed textiles from the Creative ReUse Calgary project.

A big beautiful day

Potatoes or tomatoes or maybe cabbage - what are you growing this year?

We are super excited to go into our third year gardening with the River Run Communal Garden. We are looking to add some new garden members this year.

Come by to meet some of us tomorrow at Calgary Seedy Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM at Bowness community centre

We will also be hosting the children’s booth again this year, making flowers from reclaimed textiles from Creative ReUse Calgary.

And we will be selling previously loved gardening and cook books with all proceeds going to support river run communal garden

We hope to see you!
