Upcoming Grand Opening of Hinton Greenhouse

The HINTON Community Garden Society is so pleased to announce their grand opening celebration – slotted for the end of August! The north greenhouse is 100% filled and the south greenhouse will be ready for gardening in spring 2012. The outdoor gardens and site landscaping are currently underway thanks to thousands of volunteer hours and corporate donations.

The Hinton Community Garden project has three purposes:

· To improve Hinton’s food security by ensuring a perennial local supply of fresh, organic produce.
· To reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by reducing the amount of fossil fuel used in the production, processing, and transport of food.
· To promote social cohesion and inclusiveness by functioning as a "Third Place" where everyone can participate.
