Calling all volunteers!

VOLUNTEER: GARDEN FEST 2014 Planning committee

This summer's 3rd Annual Garden Fest needs a special planning committee. The Saint Mary's Events Committee has scheduled the event for August 16, rain date August 23, and it will probably be held in Marysville.  

For those unlucky enough to have missed out on Garden Fest in the past, it's an outdoor musical festival, held for the last two years at St. Mary's Community Garden: a celebration of garden and community, featuring local performers.  A warm, cheerful celebration is what it's been, and we think we should continue the tradition.

If you would like to make yourself available for several meetings and a few hours of work between now and mid-August, contact Madeleine  madeleineberrevoets@gmail.com 

VOLUNTEER: GARDEN MENTORS

We need mentors to help and guide those in our group with limited or no experience with gardens.  We are planning to have mentorship days (four Sunday afternoons in May and June), and we also suggest that our volunteers wear their special identification (we are looking at getting pins or bandanas) whenever they are in the garden so people will know to come and ask questions.  If you have an area of specialty (e.g. square foot gardening, growing herbs...) or experience please let us know.

If you would like to be a mentor, contact Carol Muncer   muncer4813@rogers.com

Potluck and Seed Library Opening TODAY

Hello everyone,

We have been watching the weather and it looks like we are good for our event today. The roads are clear and the storm is not supposed to hit until later on.

Seed Library + Potluck
Feb 15th, 5-7pm
780 McEvoy st. Fredericton, NB

Come and join us on Feb 15, 5-7pm, (snow date Feb 23) at St Mary’s Church, 780 McEvoy St.  Bring something for the pot luck (include ingredient list for allergies), and help us celebrate the opening of the library. Join the library, borrow some seeds.

We are in the process of setting up a webpage including seed library resource information. Keep a look out for it :  NBseedlibrary.weebly.com

Hope Seeds is willing to give us a 33% discount on their small seed packets, but we must place one order with one payment.  Carol Muncer (your new Garden coordinator!) will be putting the order together. We need to send in the order quickly so people can start their seedlings.  You can access the catalogue for hope seeds on line(www.hopeseed.com).  She will need the cash and your order in an envelope with your name and contact information by February 24, 2014.   You can bring it on Feb 15 (snow date Feb23) to our library opening or drop it off at Carols house, 388 Crocket St, Fredericton. Carols phone number is 450-4813 if you have questions.
