The focus for June 9 is on water - how to collect it, store it, and transfer it to where it's needed with the least amount of cost and effort! Rene Michalak, former Governor of the Canadian Association for Rainwater Management (CANARM) and Education Chair of the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association, and Jennica Taylor of Daisy & Dill will share their knowledge and demonstrate the new drip irrigation watering system for the grow beds on site.

We still have a few Rain Barrels and overflow hoses along with seeds and premium worm castings for sale. AND... we'll be running the new drip irrigation system sponsored by Southern Irrigation Red Deer! As always, we can give a tour and volunteer orientation to anyone new to the site.
Weekly sessions from 9am to noon-ish at the Common Ground Garden Project site - 5581 45 St, Red Deer - where you can connect with others and learn about gardening and urban agriculture topics for successful growing in Central Alberta!
Registration is required as well as a liability waiver which you can fill in at the site. Please dress according to the weather, bring a water bottle, and snacks as desired.
You can apply to join ReThink Red Deer's volunteer team and be notified of additional opportunities and special events as they arise. Details TBA.
