Our largest event yet... The One Month Anniversary-Post Solstice Bash! On Saturday June 27th at 6:30pm come out and celebrate with the rest of the Christie Pits Community Garden members, friends, and neighbors. We've all rolled up our sleeves and the garden is looking great, so it's time to congratulate ourselves.

The evening will include:

  • expert gardeners onsite for anyone in need of advice
  • scarecrow making and potatoe sack races for kids
  • a potluck dinner

If you would like to help out with this event please email us and specify what you would like to do. Here's a list of what would come in handy.

  • clothing for the scarecrow; pants, shirt, hat, glasses (?), gloves...
  • firewood (nothing painted or pressure treated)
  • food items for the potluck dinner - please specify what you'll be bringing
  • help putting the word out. Please invite friends and family.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Look for some updates as the event draws closer.
