Hi Ross,

Thanks for all the information!
I would like to get involved, but tomorrow actually I will not be in Kits so will not be able to join the seed packet work party. I will keep up to date with the events page though and hopefully join you at the next opportunity.

Hope you had a good day gardening today - the weather was beautiful! =)

Cheers!

Hi Ross,

I have a 17 year old son and his friend who are in Grade 12 and he wants to learn how to build boxes for raised garden beds. I am looking for a mentor for them. Do you know of someone who could help them get started?
