April @ The Cambie + King Ed Garden!

Hello Cambie + King Ed Gardeners,

Gardening season has officially arrived at the community garden!

With plum + cherry blossoms opening up across the city - we couldn't be more excited to get this growing season started. 

Here are a few garden updates:

WATERING SYSTEM

Please remember to turn the water OFF before you leave the garden. This helps with the longevity of the equipment.

Also, keep your eyes open for any leaks or if the nozzle is broken, and let us know ASAP in an email or text.

COMPOST DELIVERY

We have supplied a pile of organic compost to boost your garden beds with nutrients for the growing season. You’re invited to add a bucket or two to each of your beds. Please don’t take too much––we’d like everyone to get the opportunity to freshen their bed.

WEST COAST GROW GUIDE

Check out this regional grow guide for South Coastal BC for info on when to seed what veggie crop. 

Happy Growing!

February @ The Cambie + King Ed Garden!

Hello Cambie + King Ed Gardeners,

It may not feel like it, but Spring will be here sooner than later. This means it is time to put on our gardening caps and turn our thoughts to the upcoming growing season!

SPRING REGISTRATION

Look out for an email in the coming weeks with information and directions on how to register and pay for your garden beds for the 2025 growing season. Stand by!

GET GROWING

It may be above zero most days, but we’re still a few months away from putting seeds in the ground. In the meantime, you can start thinking about what you’d like to plant once the weather warms a bit and refer to this handy planting guide.

WATER

A reminder that the water and hoses are turned off for the winter. We will be activating the watering system again once we’re past the last frost date, which is typically in early April. 

Keep an eye out for that registration email!

Enjoy the rest of Winter!
