“We had a meeting, and they talked about a Golden Shovel getting passed around (to different businesses).Usually the picking and the weeding is set for Tuesday nights, but if there is a volunteer group out there willing to help and a Thursday works better,we can arrange to have a garden boss there to say what needs to be done.We don’t want to narrow the chances for people to help just because Tuesday doesn’t work,”said Edlund, adding young and old have helped out with the gar- den.“We want to work with like-minded people.The garden has always been about doing good for others and I would like us to continue to focus on that while also focusing on doing good with others.” Volunteer efforts have been made more efficient when drip irrigation


was introduced last year.Along with being more environmentally- friendly, it also cut down stresses on the labour force. “When you are not watering everything,weeds don’t grow every-


where.You can contain the weeds a little more.When you are sprinkling everywhere, they grow wherever they want. It was about working smarter, not harder,”said Edlund.“We are also talking about putting in a concrete base and some sheds to do some washing of the vegetables. Just to make it easier for the food bank, where they had to clean them up a lot last year.” If you would like to learn more about the Vegetable Garden Project or would like to volunteer, you can call Aaron Edlund at 403-795-2586.
