Loving Spoonful presents: Like Water for Chocolate

Like Water for Chocolate is based off a popular novel that follows the story of a young girl named Tita who longs her entire life to marry her lover, Pedro, but can never have him because of her mother’s upholding of the family tradition of the youngest daughter not marrying but taking care of her mother until the day she dies. Tita is only able to express herself when she cooks.

Thursday, February 17 at 7:00 pm.
Located at Watson Hall, Rm. 217 @ Queens’ Campus.

Thanks to everyone who attended our showing of ‘the Garden’ last night! We were so pleased with the attendance and discussion about community gardens. Keep a look out for information about out next movie, ‘Like Water for Chocolate.’

The Community Garden Network committee has planned several workshops for the month of February. Both new and experienced gardeners are encouraged to come out and discuss new ways of gardening and to share knowledge gained through your varied experiences. All three workshops will take place at the Sustainability Centre (corner of Princess and Montreal).

February 2, 7-9pm:  Seed Starting – Hilary Davies will discuss the process of starting your own seeds, including a focus on the types of soils and containers that work best.

February 10, 7-9pm: Creative Urban Gardening – Annie Crane will talk about and demonstrate some ideas for gardening creatively in small spaces, including container gardening, identifying urban spaces suitable for gardening, and making use of what you have.

February 17, 7-9pm: Introduction to Permaculture – Hilary Davies and Holly Platz will explore some of the underlying principles of permaculture and offer suggestions on how to incorporate this natural systems-based approach into your own gardening practice.
