just checking back after a lapse to see what's happening and let Kits folk know about some of my initiatives/invitations. 

1. Trafalgar & 6th traffic circle roundabout garden--pick anything. some things available for digging - Lemon balm for instance!!  Bay leaves are my most popular gift!

2. Butterflyway pollinator gardens.  I'm now an official David Suzuki foundation butterflyway gardener and looking for people in Kits who are willing to set aside a patch for butterfly friend patches. 

3. Fairy gardens anyone? Kids love to see the little fairy "doors" etc. that are springing up already. I'd like to see even more. A friend might be getting a NSG to buy supplies and spread the word. 

4. native plants. I'm learning about native plants and would love to connect with anyone who has seeds or divisions to share for pollinator gardens.

I've just joined the sharing economy website afeatherway.com - and I've posted a whole bunch of stuff I'm trying to move to a new home including a black compost bin, wire cage for dried leaves, garden pots, an outdoor bench (not beautiful but foldable), 4 folding wooden chairs, an electric kettle and various collage/fabric supplies for crafts. And while I have your attention - my herb garden in the roundabout at 6th and Trafalgar is needing you to come and pick-esp the fennel and bay leaf plants are too high (strictly speaking plants should be no more than 24") - trafalgarmary@gmail.com

Hi Folks
I am about to start up a medicinal herb garden on the traffic circle on Maple st and 13th ave which has been funded by the community neighbourhood grants. We will not be needing some of the current resident plants and wanted to offer them to anyone who may like them. They are Iris, Heuchera, Heather, Sedum, Caentauea Montana, Hardy Geranium, Helleborus, Crocosmia, Eryngium. Please let me know if you would like any of these asap. We will be working in the garden tomorrow morning from 8:30 t0 10:30, sunday afternoon and monday or tuesday evening.
Bless
Marika

Hello neighbors,

Please join me next Wednesday for crane folding in support of making ecocide illegal. I will provide spaghetti (or possibly some other meal). Sign up on the events page so I can keep you posted on the menu and send you my address. So far all the people coming can walk! Nice feeling of locality. But don't let it dissuade you from coming if you have to pedal or drive. Last crane folding we had so much fun that people stayed until the hour was well into the double digits. And kept folding cranes! Hope to see you there.

Janet

We'll have the Kits Village Seed Library at the potluck tonight. Please feel free to take some seeds, including a bunch of new seeds. And to bring some to replenish the library now (and later in the season as your plants grow.)
