Congratulations to Hinton for the great progress being made on their community garden and greenhouse initiative. Spearheaded by the Hinton Community Garden Society, the project has three goals in place: to increase Hinton’s food security, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and bring the community together in a central hub.
Two greenhouses have been donated by Kinder Morgan canada that will be available to anyone in town to grow their own food, with a small portion of it going back into the community. Along with the grant from ACE Communities, the society was also the recipient of a $22,000 Quality of Life grant from the Town of Hinton earlier this year. More recently, they were a beneficiary of the Skid and Steer Rodeo, held on Sept. 26. The goal is have an outdoor garden planted by the spring of 2010, and to have a public greenhouse ready for planting by 2011.
