The Hinton Community Greenhouse is bursting with sweet red peppers, juicy tomatoes, strawberries, peas, squash and even cucumbers. What a time for thanks and celebration!
The Hinton Community Garden Society hosted a Grand Opening ceremony and harvest celebration on the Labour Day weekend and community residents all shared the local produce, success and new opportunities that this brings for Hinton! Starting out as one of the first ten Active Community partners (now ACE), this hard working group has created this “Third Place” where everyone can participate and be part of ensuring a local supply of fresh, organic produce!
Greenhouse founder, Jerome Cranston, said that: “since the plan was first dreamed up and presented to council in January 2009, there has been so much community support. This is really a grassroots project thanks to the thousands of hours of volunteer labour, and from the support of sponsors especially Kinder Morgan Canada, Alberta Recreation and Parks Association and the Town of Hinton”. Hinton is pleased to have a new executive lead by Noel Corser that is working hard to take this to the next level!
