Community gardens
Gardeners short of space for their own plots have until April 1 to join the program at Spruce Lane Organics. Land owner Edith Schaeffer offers people the option of sharing in her community garden or renting a plot of their own. Rent is $30 for the season, with Schaeffer supplying the seeds and tools. Planting starts on the first Wednesday in May. The property is located along Hwy 2A, between Blackfalds and Lacombe. To sign up or learn more, call 403-885-4666.
