Did you know there's a rooftop garden in the middle of downtown Calgary? Or that it's run by staff, volunteers and clients of The Mustard Seed?
With help from lots of amazing volunteers, we planted the garden on our Community Centre this spring and we've been reaping the benefits ever since.
Tammy Winterfield was instrumental in getting the local community on board, including lining up sponsors and volunteers. “We have had some guests regularly involved and that’s been great. It has been a very positive thing for our community," she says. "The beginning of the rooftop garden has been very fruitful and our community has enjoyed using the space."
See more below, and watch out for our newsletter, coming tomorrow!
How are you getting involved in your community? Are there any initiatives you'd like to see started? Let us know in the comments!
