Strawberries were planted in the new Parkland Crossing outdoor garden boxes.
This is part of the greenhouse project run by Jamie Harvey and others at the centre.
Harvey, Administrator, lets us know some of their gardening plans for the year.
“This year we are going to be, in addition to the strawberries and cucumbers, we’re going to be planting something called a sensory garden; something for people to see, smell, touch, like peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, and other really aromatic plants. So it’s an exciting thing to get people out and touch and feel the different textures plants, smell their hands afterwards after they tough the peppermint. Just a malty sensory experience.”
The garden plants found on the front lawn of Parkland Crossing is a partnership between Healthy Together Now and the Dauphin Neighbourhood Renewal Committee.
