It’s the time of year when those of us with a green thumb, and even some without, start itching to dig into earth and prepare for another growing season.

For those without a home garden, or in search of a more social gardening experience, Sackville has something to offer. The Sackville Community Garden is located off Charles Street, just the other side of the CN tracks. The community garden boasts 28 plots, a composter, water supply, tool shed and a beautiful brick wood-fired bake oven. There’s also a large food forest planted about twelve years ago featuring fruit trees and bushes, herbs and other edibles. Some beehives live nearby for easy access pollination.

CHMA stopped by to check out the garden last week and spoke with steering committee member, Sarah Evans.
