The Perth-Dupont Community Garden is looking for volunteers to help with their flower bed and butterfly garden:

Started just as a garden with individual plots nestled into the Symington Avenue Playground Park in 2005 by the City Councillor, The Perth Dupont Community Garden has been transformed into a thriving Community Garden, and is now a center for Urban Agriculture.

With ethnic and lifestyle diversity, our community garden is a place to grow food, flowers, friendships, and personal social and leadership skills.

• Our garden is looking for one or two people interested in flowers and roses, to help with our Front flower Bed, and our Native Plant - Butterfly Garden.
• For more information please contact Susan perth-dupontcg@frogstar.com

Come early to have a tour of the Garden.

The Perth-Dupont Community Garden will be hosting a BBQ this Friday evening, July 30th, starting at 5:30pm. The garden is located in the Symington Ave. Playground, which is accessed from Perth Ave. north of Dupont St.

We are half way through the summer growing season, and we have already harvested many good things from our gardens, from beans & beets, cucumbers, peas, radishes and many leafy things like lettuce, Swiss Chard, & many kinds of kale, right up to the Zucchinis.

It will be pot luck style, so that you can bring your own things that you want cooked on the BBQ, (hot-dogs, burgers, slabs of meat, as well as the veggies that you want roasted.

We will have two BBQs' going - one is propane, the other one will be with charcoal. The Community garden will provide the charcoal as well as some veggies and Buns, ...I will have a look at the potatoes and see if they are ready to harvest, and we can cook some of them up for every one.

More info about this event is available on the Perth-Dupont Community Garden website.

Susan from the Perth Dupont Community Garden writes:

I just wanted you to know that the Perth Dupont Community Garden can be used as an out door public cooling station.

I have turned on the park sprinkler, and inside the garden area, near the train tracks, chairs have been set up in the shade. People can cool off in the sprinkler or use the hose to run a bit of cold water onto their hands or feet, ... what ever they need to do to feel better.

Sounds like a great way to be outside and get cooled off. The Perth Dupont Community Garden is located at the Symington Ave. Playground, which is accessed off of Perth Ave. north of Dupont St. (map).
