Community garden a success for New Tec residents
July 17, 2014 · 0 Comments
The Tec We Gwill Women’s Institute has been a constant promoter and facilitator for the community garden in New Tecumseth. This year, 14 raised beds were raised for residents to enjoy gardening and to harvest their own vegetables at the end of the season. For the past six years, the W.I. has been working with the Town of New Tecumseth to create this space – especially for those who can’t have a garden at their home, and also to create a place to enjoy the outdoors and some gardening. “The hope is that people will gather, socialize and share their techniques and produce,” says organizer Donna Jebb. Along with the gardens the W.I. also provides canning demonstrations for residents to learn proper canning techniques and preserving with Emerie Brine of Bernardin Jars.
