With all of the rain we received my young, recently transplanted lettuce has survived! Hardening off your plants before they go into the ground is a great way to make sure tender plants will make it through unpredictable weather!

About
The Acadia Community Farm began in the spring of 2008 with the vision of providing local, organic produce to the dining hall at Acadia University, while also serving as a community garden. The Farm has grown to become an educational community centre for the exchange of knowledge surrounding gardening, food, and sustainable agriculture. Explore the site to find out more or stop by the Farm for a visit!

It was a group effort with volunteers and our farm dog yesterday mulching our garden beds. What a difference it makes to mulch the garden beds with straw. Not only does it make the garden look neat and tidy, but it also helps suppress weeds and hold moisture in the soil. 🌱
Big thanks to all the volunteers that came out to weed tonight. Tomorrow we are picking up a truck load of mulch to help suppress future growth. 🌱
🍉Look at those tiny Watermelon🍉 We decided to try something new this year. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 we have some beautiful fruit to share with Acadia students and Wheelock Dining Hall.
A BIG thank you to the @harrietirvingbotanicalgardens Crew for bringing down the big guns 💪🏻🚜 to help reclaim our front lawn. This space will allow us to have a beautiful gathering area for our many visitors at the farm.
