North Glenora Grows Together: Beginning Gardening Q & A
Welcome gardeners (or soon to be gardeners)! The NGCL is introducing, “North Glenora Grows Together”, a virtual series of online garden parties for neighbours to share gardening tips and offer support across the community. The first garden party will be hosted by Wendy Sauvé, longtime gardener and organizer of Edmonton Seedy Sunday.
Join us May 11th, 2020 at 7 pm for North Glenora Grows Together: Beginning Gardening Q & A. This series is free and can be accessed online or by phone. Register online at https://forms.gle/diJg6rrV5e9rezXc9 or email [email protected] or call 780-237-5266.
Do you have yard space you could donate for a garden? The NGCL would love to connect you with local gardeners who could turn your empty yard into a rich source of healthy produce for the community or Food Bank during this time of need. Please contact [email protected] or 780-237-5266 if you would like to donate space or if you are interested in caring for extra gardens.

45+ Needs Your Strength
We need volunteers to set up and take down chairs and tables at 45+ special events which are usually held in the evening on the fourth Friday of the month. You would set up tables and chairs before the event , returning to put them away when the event is over. (Of course, you’re welcome to stay.) We hope to set up a roster so that people could work in pairs, on rotation. That way, you might only be called a few times a year. Without your help, we can’t continue to host these events and they mean a lot to the people that participate.
So if you can spare the time, please call Agnes at 780-455-0114
