A big highlight of my summer was joining the Garden Path Society and learning a lot about gardening! It is so cool and great to be a part of. Its run by volunteers and the best part is the half acre of vegetables that is grown to give away to charities and allow the public to come in and harvest. By volunteering there I have been able to take home fresh organic vegetables that are so pretty and colourful. Today was the last harvesting day and I got a bunch of potatoes, some carrots, rainbow chard, some padi pan squash, and a little pumpkin! I've been introduced to vegetables I never knew I liked and had an excuse to spend many of the beautiful sunny days outside among great people that all wanted to get dirty!
Calgary Garden Path Society!
The Garden Path Society of Calgary is a local, non-profit organization that is focused on providing garden space for Calgarians. We strive to overcome the urban obstacles that prevent people of all ages and cultures from participating in growing food and plants. With the help of supporters, the Garden Path Society has a positive effect on the health of the city by raising funds to help grow food for charity and to provide spaces for citizens to grow their own abundant harvest in an earth-friendly way.
