Tomorrow – Saturday July 10 from 9am to 11am, Adria Cehovin needs 20 new volunteers to help her out at the Urban Farm in downtown Burlington (Brant St. and Ghent Avenue). Please help her out if you are able!

The Urban Farm needs 20 new volunteers to help out with the big Pollinator Planting event! Can you join them for 2 hours tomorrow morning to help with digging, planting and watering. Its going to be a beautiful sunny day too! Come on over to learn all about pollinator plants and how it will complete the cycle at the urban farm. Sorry for the short notice.

The Urban Farm is here in downtown Burlington (Brant St. and Ghent Avenue). There are seedlings now growing in half of the 148 huge straw bales about 7ft x 3ft each. They are now growing peppers, broccoli, kale, tomatoes and various other vegetables and herbs. The project is progressing and all the start-up costs were managed by the Molinaro Group. The goal is to produce fresh vegetables and herbs and to donate them to food charities in Burlington. They also plan to grow a pollinator garden to complete the cycle. Supporting the pollinators will help the tomato and cucumber plants get started. Adria (grow4changes@gmail.com ) will post updates along the way on their facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/I.will.grow.for.change/
