Gardening is becoming more and more popular in Dauphin.
A Community Gardening Workshop is being offered by the Dauphin Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation on Monday.
Allison Moss, Community Liaison, has seen gardening growing in the community.
“I think we’ve seen an uptake in the last couple of years in terms of interest in the community garden network. This spring, we have seen just a ton of enthusiasm around it and the network is expanding in Dauphin. So Parkland Crossing recently put in four additional raised garden beds near the food bank entrance and that has seemed to generate an interest, in addition to the garden beds behind the facility. Whitmore School is putting in four garden beds for students and community members in that neighbourhood. Echo Housing has garden beds. They’ve just put in an addition four so that’s five in the back yard. With that and when we are seeing infrastructure being created, there’s always an opportunity to get together and learn from one another.”
The workshop starts at 5:30 p.m. at Birss Greenhouse, located on 4th Avenue N.E., across from the Co-op.
Participants should bring a lawn chair and a donation for the foodbank.
The workshop is free and to register call Moss at 622-3164.
