Fall equinox at Cambie & 16th

 Hello fellow gardeners, 


Fall has officially arrived at the garden––pumpkin spice season, replete with torrential rain. Harvest is waning and we’re just about ready to put the garden to rest for the winter season.


Here is a quick run down of the garden update:

  • Cleaning your beds

  • Water shut off

  • Next year


CLEANING YOUR BEDS


Cleaning out your beds cuts down on rotting vegetation and gives the garden a tidy look through the winter months.


PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR BEDS ARE CLEANED UP BY NOVEMBER 1ST! 


Greens waste goes in the greens waste bins (make sure to shake off soil first). Feel free to add fallen leaves and/or straw to your beds as cover.


WATER SHUT OFF 


We will be shutting off the water in the garden sometime in late October just before the frosts begin. This is so the water lines won’t freeze.


NEXT YEAR


As we all know, our garden is a temporary one. That said, we hope to keep the garden going into 2022 (and beyond!). We’ll keep you posted on any upcoming changes to the site.


Happy Thanksgiving
