Community garden project in bloom in the Battlefords
NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. — The Battlefords Family Health Centre Community Garden project in the southeast part of North Battleford is flourishing this summer with help from plenty of heat and intermittent rain.
Healthy Living coordinator Rose Favel says some of the produce being grown includes potatoes, onions, carrots, cucumbers and lettuce. There are also raspberries, saskatoons and tomatoes.
“This year our gardens are growing beautifully,” she said. “The weather conditions have been awesome, without too much rain.”
People are able to water the gardens daily too to keep conditions suitable for growing whenever there are longer dry periods.
