Summer is in full bloom (and leaf) at Oakridge Community Garden!
And now it’s almost time for the annual OCG Open Garden event. Garden Tours will take place periodically, throughout the event.
Check out the Demonstration tables for great ways to use the fruit and veggies grown right in the garden.
There will be 2 speakers bringing interesting and informative gardening talks for members and guests of OCG. At 11:30 am, Rose-Anne Bouffard will tell us about the wonderful world of Alberta butterflies in her talk. Rose-Anne is a 2023 Butterflyway Ranger with the David Suzuki Foundation. At 1:00 pm, Joan Williams will speak. Joan is a professional botanist and will soon publish “Resource Guide to Creating Habitat for Native Plants and Insects (Zone 3)”. She will be sharing her wealth of knowledge in her 2-part talk entitled “Gardening Through a Botanist’s Eye” and “Building Resilience in Urban Landscapes”.
Beautiful and delicious cookie art by Krista Kienitz of Simply Sweet will be available for purchase at Open Garden. These amazing garden-themed treats are the 2023 OCG fundraiser in support of future garden projects and maintenance. Please bring cash for your purchases.
