The LCA, with support from the Royal Bank of Canada and the Chance Foundation, is hosting a gardening event in Bingham Park, at the corner of Dalhousie and Cathcart streets. Please join us to help weed and prune the gardens, and please also bring any perennials that you would like to exchange with neighbours.
 
The Bingham Park gardens were landscaped last summer with financial and logistical support from the Royal Bank of Canada and the Chance Foundation. These are community gardens and are not maintained by the City of Ottawa. Please help us keep Bingham Park beautiful.
 
Date: Sunday, May 31
Time: 9 am to noon
What to bring: gardening gloves and hand tools

The Lowertown Community Association (LCA) and Lowertown Community Resource Centre (LCRC) have heard from a number of residents who are interested in developing a community garden somewhere in Lowertown on the west side of King Edward Avenue, similar to Angel Square Community Garden, which is located in front of 40 Cobourg Street in Lowertown East and is supported by the LCRC.
 
To help get a project underway, the LCA and LCRC are hosting a community meeting on Thursday, April 16, from 6:30 to 8 pm, at Routhier Community Centre.  

The purpose of the meeting is to hear how the LCRC helped residents to develop the Angel Square community garden and to get interested community members together to form a garden committee.
 
All are welcome! No gardening experience is needed to participate in this project.
