ONGOING PROJECTS

CAMPUS COMMUNITY GARDEN PROJECT
The Campus Community Garden Project (CCGP) is well under way, with the first harvests ready for picking. New members are always welcome. Contact Rita at haaser@uwindsor.ca for more information, or join their Facebook Group.

FOOD ADVISORY WORKING GROUP
This group is working to build a local network around food security, and develop a food charter for our region. They meet regularly and are looking for new members to help with this project. Contact Lynne Phillips at lynnep@uwindsor.ca for more information.

COMMUNITY GARDEN for WEST WINDSOR
The Windsor Essex Community Health Centre (WECHC), formerly Sandwich Community Health Centre, has a half acre communal and private plots garden fully running at the corner of Prince and King (3735 King St.). This year, the Community Garden for West Windsor received a $10,000 grant from the Walmart Evergreen Green Grant to help with the operating costs of the garden. Members of the community are invited to come and adopt a row for the Grow and Row for Hungry project. Please contact Judy, Garden Coordinator, at 519-566-5832 or Bonnie, Health Promoter, at bjam@sandwichchc.org for more information.

ONLINE LOCAL FOOD MAPPING
This project will potentially have multiple layers representing various aspects of food production, distribution, and consumption in the Windsor area. This will also have an interactive component, linking up people with various kinds of resources in order to grow more gardens. Please contact Jamey at jsessex@gmail.com
WAIT! This project is on hold for now.

GARDEN MOBILIZATION WORKSHOP SERIES & RESOURCE PACKAGE
Jennie Lozon is taking the lead on this project. She'll first be assessing the questions and concerns of local people interested in starting gardens, and help address these questions by designing and hosting various workshops and compiling a resources package, adjusting as new concerns come to light. She is soliciting help, especially for the initial phase; please contact her at jolliejenniebean@gmail.com for more information or to offer assistance.

HERB GARDEN VISITS
Lucette has been gardening and using herbs for several decades. She is forwarding an open invitation to anyone who would like to visit her gardens. She also gives away seedlings from her herb plants in the spring. Please contact her at chiass2@yahoo.ca for more information or to set up a garden visit.
