Grounds has been getting more active as the weather warms up, and we are back to monthly meetings at the Playground. Meeting dates are flexible, so let us know if you want to attend a meeting and we’ll let you know when the next one is set.
Thanks to the Sunnyhill Membership who approved the proposal for murals on 2 of our garbage enclosures. Given the construction work on Sunnyhill Lane, the 4th Street location will be our first offering. We are presently working with Sunnyside Mural Prioject to find an artist to work with us.
It wouldn’t be June if there wasn’t the standard “Watch out for invasive species, especially Creeping Bellflower!” alert. Posters will be up on the dumpsters as a reminder of what CBF looks like. If you have any question about whether it’s in or around your yard, email Grounds and we’ll help with identification. Remember these plants need to be pulled out, not cut! We also have our intrepid “Gardening Club” crew back in action to take care of watering trees and planting/weeding Common space gardens.
Food Forest- a Grounds member had an inspiring and productive meeting with Jeremy from Sunshine Earthworks who helped us establish the Food Forest a few years ago. Generally he’s pleaded with how it’s progressing. Members should stay tuned for some working bee projects to reinvigorate the Fiid Forest this summer! We’re also planning to replace a few of the shrubs and one tree that have died back.
We’ll be doing a walk about with an arborist at the end of June to review the health of our trees. If you have concerns about any specific trees please email Grounds (shcgrounds@shaw.ca)
