As the Garden Grows

  The driveways in the garden are simply pathways left in the grass wide enough to drive on with your vehicle. They are not prepared for vehicle traffic in any way. When it rains, the sod and surrounding ground becomes soft, and will not support the weight of your vehicle. You could easily cut through the sod, thereby rendering the driveway impassable to other vehicles. For this reason, when conditions warrant, we temporarily close the garden to vehicle traffic by placing barricades at the entrance. The garden is then closed to vehicle traffic, but you are welcome to walk in. Your weight alone will not damage the field.   Anyone caught removing a traffic barricade will be immediately ejected from the garden.

  As identified in a previous post, Oxeye Daisy is an invasive weed governed under the Alberta Weed Control Act. These weeds must be controlled and not allowed to spread. We have noticed an infestation of these weeds in the garden this year, and have pulled all the offending plants in the common areas of the garden. It is your responsibility to ensure that you pull any of these plants that may start growing on your plot(s). Do NOT place them in the compost pile, where they may just start growing again. Dispose of them in the garbage, where we will collect them and destroy them by burning. Lots of photos here to help you identify the offending plants.
