Loving Spoonful will have a table set up at the Princess Street Promenade!  This event will take place on Princess Street July 31, 10am – 6pm.  Loving Spoonful will be sharing a space with the Community Garden Network, and Urban Agriculture Kingston in front of Tara Natural Foods (between Wellington and King on Princess).  The Princess Street Promenade is a street festival intended to make Princess Street a lively, fun, pedestrian-friendly and commercially active location- promoting downtown businesses, community involvement, and the sustainability off active transport (like walking and cycling).  Come visit Loving Spoonful’s booth to learn more about Grow-a-Row or Loving Spoonful, or to contribute to the “fingerprint flower” mural.

“The Art of Food” is a special event hosted at the Community Harvest Market, 50 Mccauley Street.  It is happening next Wednesday July 28 from 3-7pm. It features live music (4.30-6.30), a composting workshop (3.30), cooking workshops, a balloonologist and a face painter, in addition to a BBQ, taste tasting, and a children’s activity area.

Next week the workbee will happen on Thursday July 15 instead of the usual Tuesday date.  The workbee is being changed to coincide with the Oak Street Community Garden Midsummer party!  This combination event for both garden participants and Loving Spoonful volunteers will have sausages, veggie dogs, and salads.  This is a fantastic opportunity to meet other volunteers and garden enthusiasts!  Please bring your own plates and cutlery.

Help decorate the Loving Spoonful garden mural!  Kids can drop by and add their own “fingerprint flower” to a mural that will eventually help decorate the Acorn Garden, Loving Spoonful’s learning and donation garden.  Visit the Loving Spoonful booth at the back of the Kingston Public Market to participate, to drop off your garden’s Grow-a-Row donations, or to learn more about Loving Spoonful and its initiatives!
