August - YOUTH GREEN SQUAD

One of the community gardens that we helped with the donated plants was the H.O.P.E. Garden. It stands for Health Organic Parkdale Edibles. One of thier objectives is to employ the local youth. Teach them about gardening and health eating. We made arrangements for Abbey to bring the young people to the Perth Garden to help out with our Sharing Garden Plot. It was quite the sight to watch them peddal their bikes up the street. Aperantly they came from Queen St. And Landsdowne Ave. All the way to Dupont Rd. and Symington Ave. They spent the morning helping in the garden, and then at noon, with bags of veggies hanging on the bicycle handles, and a wagon full with harvest boxes, we all went up to the Stop for lunch.
