FINALLY! TIME TO RESERVE YOUR PLOT!

Are all those capitals up there driving you bonkers? Then you probably aren't one of the people who have been waiting over a year for your first year of greenhouse gardening!

Tonight at our meeting (all our meetings are open to public!) - we set the date(s)

If you want a plot in the greenhouse, please call Mary Anne - she will need to know your name, contact info, and the size you would like to have. If we have a huge demand, we will mostly likely start with a basic smaller size and allocate more space on an "as available" basis - which means, we'll try to make sure everyone gets as much space as they need :)...

Our second greenhouse most likely will not be ready at the beginning of the season as we still need a lot of help finishing it up - if you are interested in this, you can leave a message here (in the comments section) OR check out our beautiful website:

www.hintoncommunitygreenhouse.org

for all our contact information -

And now... deadlines! Please have your name in by April 1st to reserve a space (if you haven't already done so - we do have a list of people/sizes of plots - but if you haven't yet, you have until April 1st). We will take payment that month (till April 30th) and after that time, you may lose your plot unless there are extenuating circumstances!

We are excited for this spring and i hope this brightens up your wintry wonderland of a day...

Incredible opportunity for greenhouse gardeners!

Cultivating Community – The Invermere Community Solar Greenhouse

An evening presentation by Bill Swan – Greenman Sustainable Solutions

Wednesday February 23, 7:00pm

Grant MacEwan University CN Theatre Rm 5-142

In response to the growing interest in local food security, healthy food in schools, and the overall sustainability of our agriculture systems, 300 community volunteers in Invermere BC teamed up to build a 300 sq. ft. greenhouse. It is now producing both food and sustainability programs for school and community audiences. Bill Swan, Community Greenhouse Project lead, will discuss how the project was developed including the many social, technical and logistical challenges and successes the project team encountered during the design, construction and operation of this successful initiative. This is part of a three seminar series on solar greenhouses sponsored by Alberta Agriculture.

Location: Grant MacEwan University CN Theatre – Rm 5-142

Cost: Free, no reservations necessary. Seating is first come, first served. Free refreshments
