The Main Street Neighbourhood village is holding our monthly potluck dinner and presentation tonight (Tuesday, 7 June) at Little Mountain Neighbourhood House on Main Street at 24th Ave (adjacent to the library). Dinner and a free seed and food plant seedling giveaway start at 6:00 and then an urban gardening presentation and discussion begins at 7 for about an hour. Come and stay as long as you want, or just drop by at any time.
See the full event description here.

Welcome, Amy!
I didn't realize you lived so close. Mount Pleasant is currently part of the Main Street Neighbourhood, also my village. Some day we will have a village for every older neighbourhood and each no larger than a 5-minute walk...hmmm...one minute ride.
On the first Tuesday of every month we hold a potluck at Little Mountain Neighbourhood House (Main at 24th), and we'll be giving away free seedlings of edible plants this month: tomatoes, lettuce, radish, etc. Join the Main Street Neighbourhood on this page and then join us either the week after next (June 7) for the potluck and/or on Main Street for CarFree Day. Our big Village will be around 14th Ave, and we'll be sure to have a bike valet!
Talk to you soon.
Randy
