Re: Planting the Downtown Community Garden - May 29th and 30th! - POSTPONED

[Matt Hammer]

So, as many of you have probably guessed, due to the snow on the ground, we won't be planting this weekend, unfortunately. Even intrepid urban farmers can't grow things in the snow.

Tomorrow, Dirt the Movie is being shown at the Inglewood Community Hall, 1740, 24th Ave. S.E. Calgary, at 2:45pm, and we hope to see lots of you there - there will be a panel speaking after the movie including Tony Prashad, the new chair of the CFPC. After the movie, we will have a new date to announce for planting. We hope that all of you can come to the new date and contribute your ideas and energy to the Downtown Community Garden!
- Thank You and Sorry for the Short Notice, the Downtown Community Garden planning team, Matt and Vi

I'm sorry, I made a typo, the garden is actually on 3rd Street SW between 5th and 6th Avenue SW. Hope to see lots of you out there!
