Yep it got made in the shade, which has been the nicer place to be as of late, this past Sunday morning.  Thanks to Patricia and Kevin for spearheading this 'park day' planting initiative.  Also huge thanks to park staff who filled in for the volunteers that couldn't make it ;-)  There's always next time!

Here's a few images of the shade plants that we hope will take along St. Hiilda's walk.  Please, it's literally a 'no foot print' zone.  We want these babies to grow up lush and green...those hostas should do fine!

This website is designed to be self serving resource for patrons.  Amongst other great info, under the tab 'Using the Park' you will find under 'Key Park Contact info' helpful for park/city contacts.  The Friends consists of volunteer community members that care for the park and it's green space.  Which means, it's on our own time, responses may not be immediate.

-  Do have a picnic on the grass, bring the kids, friends, family.

- Do be respectful to the green space i.e. don't lock bikes to young trees, slackliners use tree protection. No zip-lines, please.

- Do share the green space with others and meet some new people.

- Be kind, considerate and let's all get along .e. no loud amplification, watch the 'smoking', use some tact and common sense.

- The park is surrounded by residential homes, boisterious noise past 11-12 is not welcome.

- Leave ZERO FOOTPRINT. Clean up after yourself.  If the bins are full, take your rubbish with you.

Fireworks - There are no offical 'permitted' or sanctioned by the City fireworks in the park.  Attend at your own risk.  So, please be careful and responsible.  

Cheers!

Free compost day again. April 23rd at 11am till it's gone. Good for all gardens, food, plants etc. Pile will be located at north end by Crawford and Dundas West.  Please help yourself to what you 'need' so that everyone gets some for their gardens.  Hosted by our Ward 19 Councillor, Mike Layton.

Farmers' Market starts it's 10th season on May 3rd.  It's a soft opening, not all the vendors will be there because it's still early in the growing season. Nonetheless, come up and welcome in the season and let's get the ball rolling to get Tuesdays back into your weeklly routine.  Look forward to: asparagus, VQA rotation, popsicles, mushrooms, baked goods, artisan bread, vegetable bounty, cheese, meats and the list goes on.  Come June, we want TBFM to become your cut flower destination - of the chemical free, organic locally grown kind.  We have two vendors bringing so lots for everyone.  

Despite the breakin, the seedlings are flourishing.  Good work by the dedicated green house members.  If your interested in becoming part of the green house gang, email the This email address is being protected from spambots.

This past weekend the greenhouse door was vandalized.  Bummer, because seedlings were being grown and cared for.  Not sure how many died or not at this time.  Zack responded quickly and did a quick temp repair.  UPDATE:  No seedling casualties! phew.
