Hello Garry oak growers,
This is a gentle reminder of the upcoming Garry Oak Nursery work party on Sunday, April 28th from 10am to 1pm. We've just begun the push to get all the acorns planted: we have 375 in the soil so far! Come join in the particularly pleasant task of planting these acorns and soon we'll be able to see their cute little leaves sprouting out of the soil! As a reminder, there is a proper toilet (porta-potty type) on the premises. Gloves, tools & refreshments are provided. Weather appropriate clothing & good work boots are recommended!

I am sad to say that our first Saturday work party of the new year has to be cancelled to due unfavorable weather. The Saturday, February 9th 1pm to 4pm work party will therefore be rescheduled. Our resident forestry expert has warned us against re-potting our oaks during this freezing weather, so we will abide by his recommendations. We don't yet have a date set to recommence the work parties, but I will keep you informed! I look forward to seeing you at the Nursery again soon! Please email the volunteer coordinator at jenny.gomps@gmail.com for more information. Hello volunteers,
This is a reminder of our upcoming work party this Saturday, February 9th from 1pm to 4pm. I will finally be back out getting my hands dirty on the Saturday. I hope to see you there! Last Sunday we had brave volunteers out in the cold to pot up our sweet little 4" Garry oaks into roomier 1-gallon pots. Thank you for your hard work and chilly fingers - we have purchased lined gloves for the upcoming work parties to keep our hands nice and toasty! We are still in the process of replacing our shelter, but we have plans for something new and improved. Stay tuned to fine out more.. As a reminder, there is a proper toilet (porta-potty type) on the premises. Gloves, tools & refreshments are provided. Weather appropriate clothing & good work boots are recommended.

Our covered work area is still sadly departed, blown apart during the December windstorm, so these work parties will be weather dependent. This means that Judith, Judy or myself will be present on site on these dates and if it starts to pour we'll call it a day and go home. Fortunately, we've nearly decided on a new, more durable shelter so we can have our regular work parties again, rain or shine. As a reminder, there is a proper toilet (porta-potty type) on the premises. Gloves, tools & refreshments are provided. Weather appropriate clothing & good work boots are recommended! Please email the volunteer coordinator at jenny.gomps@gmail.com for more information. Hello Garry oak growers,
Judith will be hosting a work party tomorrow, Sunday, January 20th, 10am to 1pm, weather permitting! These work parties will continue every other Sunday going forward, unless there's rain, as we still do not have a covered shelter. These dates are:
