Spring Has Sprung!
Here is a picture of Marguerite Centre's flower beds and their beautiful signs of warm weather and Spring.

"'Tis like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made of many dyes,
The air is all perfume:
There's crimson buds, and white and blue,
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers."
- Thomas Hood
Growing Healthy, Organic Food at the Corner Garden
The Corner Garden is a Community Garden at the corner of Deacon and Paul Martin Drive, tucked into the corner of the Marguerite Centre’s expansive property. Vegetables were started in March 2007, under lights using heritage seed, and lovingly tended by volunteers. With support from Marguerite Centre, a cold frame was constructed, city compost and tools were purchased, a tiller rented and bit by bit the garden took shape. With the help of staff, pine needles, grass clippings and leaves were gathered up from around the property and delivered to the edge of the garden. A gazebo was built to offer shade to the participants and a shed built to keep the tools out of the weather. A second site was established at one of the building’s south facing walls for wind protection and the brick’s warmth. This is home for varieties of tomatoes and herbs.
