community garden grants

Any one have any suggestions for getting some grants to help with a new community garden being planned in the Renfrew area?  We would like to be able to purchase a few things that would assist in getting the garden going.

Please contact me with any relevant info

Are your products organic?

Hello Gordon:  sounds good.

 

How do you process your soil OR do you cook it until all life is extinguished?  I have been taught that effective micro-organisms, bacteria and fungi are necessary to assist many plants to grow better. 

 

I learned about the importance of these lifeforms in my Organic Master Gardener course which I just completed yesterday from Gaia College.  Thanks.  Cylia
