Work Bee at Oak St Garden

Weather permitting, we will be working in the Oak St. Garden Sunday May 3rd from 9am-2pm. Come one come all! Bring gloves (if you are the glove type) sunscreen, rakes and shovels and wheelbarrows if you have ‘em. Bring friends and family. Snacks and water too. Hope to see you there!

ACORN Garden

Loving Spoonful is helping to host the ACORN Garden at Oak St. Garden.

The ACORN Garden is a family-friendly donation and learning garden at the Oak St Community Garden.  It provides a place where everyone can volunteer to help grow food for donation to local meal programs and food banks.  It is a great opportunity to learn about growing food, to meet other gardeners, and to share with the community.  Experienced gardeners are encouraged to take part and share their knowledge and skills with new gardeners.

Volunteers who help in the ACORN Garden will be encouraged to harvest some of the bounty for themselves.  Most of the food grown in the ACORN Garden will be distributed to local meal programs through Loving Spoonful or used in upcoming educational workshops such as  Make YOur Own Baby Food and Tomato Canning.

There will be a work bee in the near future, check back for more information soon!

Grow a Row in Kingston this year!

Loving Spoonful is coordinating Kingson Grow a Row this year. Grow a row encourages home gardeners, community gardeners and farmers to plant an extra row of produce and donate their harvest to local emergency food providers including food banks, shelters and emergency meal programs. Grow a Row builds on the tradition of gardeners sharing their bounty with neighbours and friends.
