Do you live, work and play in Downtown Sudbury? No place to plant and grow food?
The Ste. Anne Road Community Garden — Sudbury's first public access community garden located in the heart of the downtown core — has plots available for the 2016 growing season.
No experience with gardening? That's fine, because they have everything you need, plus workshops going on all summer about gardening, as well as other fun topics.
A potluck held every August gives you a chance to share a meal featuring what you've grown that summer. Plots measure four by eight feet.
Find out more at their upcoming AGM, information meeting and registration session, set for Tuesday, April 12 at 6 p.m. in the rug room of the Diocesan Centre, the building located alongside the garden at 30 Ste. Anne Road.
Anyone who signs up at the meeting gets a free packet of seeds and will be entered into a draw for a door prize.
The cutoff date to reserve a plot this year is June 1.
It's first come, first served for new gardeners, so don't delay in signing up. To garden this year, it costs $35 for waged individuals and $50 for organizations.
Subsidies available upon request.
New members are also wanted for the Ste. Anne Road Community garden counsel, a volunteer board that administers the garden.
