Are you a fan of eating fresh veggies from the garden, but you don't have a garden yourself?
You're in luck, and you can thank the Dauphin Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation (DNRC). Their Community Garden is planted. Amanda Novak and the DiverseCity team have been working hard to get the garden beds up and running.
"Everything is blooming and growing," said Amanda Novak, executive director at the DNRC. "We have an abundance of lettuce, onions, herbs, our cucumbers are coming along, and our tomatoes."
What does a community garden mean? That means it's for you.
"It means that if you want to come get some garden fresh vegetables and make a fresh salad for your family, you can come and help yourself," added Novak.
Novak and her team understand that prices continue to rise at the grocery store. The DNRC offers numerous valuable services to the community, and this is another example.
"In some small way, if we can support families by saving a few dollars at the grocery store, that's our goal," ended Novak. "That's why we put a major push to get this up and running."
Everything should be ready to pick in about a week.
