Welcome back to the Little Sprouts program 2022! We had a very busy May preparing for the summer season. We were very happy to meet all of the enthusiastic littles from our preschools which included Red Wagon at Arrow Heights public school, Caribou Kids, Revelstoke Early Years, Stepping Stones and Corner Stones. All of the kiddos were SO EXCITED to plant! So many of them were already planting experts, having helped their parents and grandparents with their own personal gardens. We planted so many yummy vegetables including peas, spinach, kale, lettuce, squash… and so much more! Of course we also planted some beautiful flowers such as marigolds, hollyhocks, zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers and nasturtiums, just to name a few. Hopefully they will bring lots of bees and vibrant colour to the garden!
The Community Garden Downtown, in the United Church yard is our little sanctuary. We are very appreciative to have had Dave Healy from HR Pacific to help us fix our garden beds! They are looking fully put together now after a wild winter with lots of snow. Thank you Dave for all of your hard work! We have also been so lucky to have a couple of happy helpers at the garden. Thank you to Izzy and Emma who have put in the hours to do the initial set up so that we can soon plant.
Stay tuned for some exciting June events, including our Community Garden Planting Party! If you’re interested in volunteering with the Little Sprouts Community Garden email littlesprouts@revelstokelocalfood.com.
