Charlie and I are back and have settled in at the Haig-Brown house. I'd like to thank everyone who visited and contributed to a wonderful first season last year - I have many great memories.
This year, I am donating produce grown on the property to a local Women's shelter, The Ann Elmore Transition house. The shelter was named after Ann (Elmore) Haig-Brown due to her tremendous contribution to women in need. I've invited residents of the shelter to help tend to the garden and share in the growing process.
Returning guests will notice the addition of a new greenhouse as opposed to the makeshift one I used last year, which in the end was held together primarily with duct tape. The greenhouse is a result of the contributions by local businesses such as: Windsor Mill Sales, Island Ready-mix, Rockin Robin Trucking, Habitat for Humanity, Home Hardware and the Museum at Campbell River.
The project would never have happened with out the hard work and creativity of Discovery College who donated the time and energy of their lead instructor and his construction and framing students who built it.
Thanks to all of the above-mentioned people for their generous donations and support - it's a wonderful start to this 2008 season.
