Our first volunteer work party of the 2025 season took place on Sunday, February 16th. A large group of volunteers braved knee high snow to winter sow cabbage, lettuce, leeks, kale, chard, pak choi, brussel sprouts and herbs for Parkview Neighbourhood Garden.

Winter sowing is when you plant seeds in transparent containers and leave them outside in the snow and rain until April, when the warmer weather will have encouraged the plants to grow. We then transfer the seedlings into our garden beds to get a head start on growing.

Thank you to Becky, Kelli, Sun, Jessica, Janet, Heejae, Kat, Amber, Steve and Pat for coming out to help and to the volunteers who tried to get here but were foiled by the snow.
