Hey Guys,
We got official notice that we've received the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation Grant for $3000! Thanks TD! Thanks everyone for all the great work on the applications. The website is paying off!
Suncor found out about our community garden and asked us to submit a grant application to their Suncor Energy Foundation. We quickly pulled together the grant information and submitted it yesterday - they are making their decisions on Friday (Dec 5th), so hopefully we hear back soon! Thanks to all the volunteers who helped get the grant together with one day turnaround, and for all the great work on the grant preparation so far! We've submitted grant applications to additional programs and are waiting on response. Hopefully we will hear back in the new year and be able to move further into developing our garden for spring 2015!
CN Eco Connexions Grant - $3200 City of Edmonton Neighbourhood Engagement Funding - $2500 TD Friends of the Environment Grant - $2200 Thanks to everyone who put in long hours filling out the grant applications so that we can get all of this going. Hey Everyone! Everyone's hard work filling out grant applications and identifying the plan for our garden has resulted in us being given two grants! Thanks to Age Friendly Edmonton Innovation Fund for a $5000 grant! Thanks to Make Something Edmonton Project Accelerator for a $1500 grant! The work continues, and we will be filling out some additional grants over winter, and also starting to get some of the signing together and potentially starting to fabricate the garden boxes!
The group had a wrap up dinner on November 20th, the next garden meeting will be in 2015! Have a great Christmas/Winter Holidays everyone and we'll see you in the new year :) Hi Everyone! There is a community garden meeting tomorrow night at the Fulton Place Community Hall (office) at 7 pm.
We will be going over the proposed name, proposed sign, and proposed logo. We will also be discussing the Garden Plot Contract, regarding the composting, watering, and planting guidelines. Hi Everyone!
We had the Community Garden Committee Meeting on Thursday night. One of the items we discussed was how nice it would be to have a website so we can communicate garden events, information, and our appreciation for all of the help we have been getting. So here we go! The most relevant information will be available for curious existing and prospective members. We are working on getting things like the planned garden layout, the garden membership agreement, and meeting agendas and minutes posted to site so they are available for reference at a moments notice! We will also be working on how often we will be updating things like the blog, who will check the contact email, etc. Have a great garden harvest 2014, we look forward to getting the garden ready to go for Spring 2015 planting! |
