A Saskatoon community garden is emphasizing the importance of affordable, local food.
The Rotary Community Garden is being held at a Season Starter Social on Saturday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
A pot-luck lunch social is also being held at the 1202 19 Street West location.
Miki Mappin, Rotary Garden coordinator, said local gardeners are welcome to come out and help tend the garden.
“A note to gardeners—all beds are now taken. But if you still want to garden and harvest, don’t despair. We have an increasing number of community garden beds, come help out when you can, and share in the produce,” Mappin said.
The community garden was created in 2019 and serves residents in the Pleasant Hill, West Industrial, Riversdale, Westmount and King George neighbourhoods.
Mappin said the garden was created with a vision to bring together people from diverse backgrounds and build a sense of connection and community.
