Eat Your Weeds
July 03, 2019

We got lots of work done! We moved lots of wood chips and lined some of the fence with wood to keep out bunnies.  During our Eat Your Weeds workshop we fried up some lambs quarters (pigweed) in butter and salt - SO DELICIOUS!

We had so much fun we are going to have a potluck every Wednesday in July.  Mary will bring a pot of rice so bring something from your garden (fridge) to add to it.  Don't forget to bring your own plates and forks.

See you at the next workshop on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 at 6 pm..

​Ridgewood Community Garden

Ridgewood Community Garden Tree Planting and Grand Opening was held on Saturday, June 01, 2019. We spent the morning planting a wide selection of fruit bearing trees and shrubs, with labor generously provided by volunteers from  our sponsors. Tree Canada, Pembina Pipeline Edmonton Immigration Services Association, Ridgewood Community and the gardening committee.

Tree Canada awarded our garden a grant that allowed us to purchase an amazing selection of edible trees and shrubs. Representatives from Tree Canada, Pembina Pipeline, Ridgewood Community League and MP Amarjeet Sohi all spoke to mark this occasion.  We were also happy to welcome local MLA Jasvir Deol and show him our new garden.

Once the trees and shrubs were planted and the wood chips spread, we enjoyed a BBQ lunch, face painting, and painting tree stump markers to decorate our huge community pumpkin patch. 

Thank you to our sponsors for providing us with the necessary funds to build attractive, long-lasting raised garden beds, as well as the soil, tools and so much more that has allowed our garden to be built.   And thank you to all the youth, children and adults who have worked so hard to make this garden a reality!
