Tea Boutique Looking for Volunteers to Create Edible Garden
Tea Boutique is organizing a project to benefit The Hills of Headwaters. We want to create an Edible Garden. This will create many opportunities for the public to learn about the edible properties of plants and flowers, unknown vegetables, culinary delights, green gardening methods, and creating a space in complete harmony with nature. It will also demonstrate that a spectacular garden can be achieved in 1 season. This garden will be completely self sufficient and sustainable using no pesticides, fertilizers or electricity.
We are looking for volunteers and donations for this project. As a Sponsor or volunteer you or your organization will be honoured with a commemorated plaque featured in the garden and listed on our websites (3) for 5 years. We have listed the needs, as we are not specifically looking for money, anyone can help.
Please consider assisting us with this endeavour, as it is a true gift to the residents of The Hills of Headwaters. If you are interested call the Tea Boutique at 905-584-7227.
