Hi Folks,

Are you interested in growing more food within city limits?
Would you like some of your edible landscaping to be lower maintenance than a vegetable garden?
How fresh would you like your breakfast fruit and berries?

A small group of local foodies have cooked up the possibility of a bulk wholesale purchase of edible trees and shrubs, including both imported and native plants.

Bailey's Local Foods (baileyslocalfoods.ca) is organizing the wholesale purchase, and Little City Farm (www.littlecityfarm.ca) has agreed to organize some complementary workshops on such things as:
- basic fruit and nut tree planting and care
- an introduction to plant guilds or companion planting for fruit trees
- an introduction to plant guilds or companion planting for nut trees
- natural rodent protection and seasonal care

We will require pre-paid orders (using PayPal), charging a small mark-up to cover plant delivery costs and workshops, with any extra surplus funds to go the Welcome Home Refugee House, and any plants not picked up to be donated to the K-W community garden network.

For people who would like to register for a workshop but aren't ordering any plants, we will request a donation to help us cover presenter costs.

If we're going to do the ordering, we need to do it VERY soon to meet the growers' deadline early in April (the plants will arrive end of May). We need you to fill in this form ASAP and we will get order forms to you. Pickup will be in Kitchener-Waterloo.

So now we need to hear from you: Are you interested? If so, please fill out the survey below.

We would also be delighted if you would forward this letter to people who might also be interested in greater self-sufficiency, and fresher fruit.

Many thanks,
Rachael, Susan, Karin, Bill, and Jackie
