Week 5 of our Pizza & Salad program had us trying something new. Our pizza had our tomato sauce topped with sautéd leeks, bacon, onions, and our first ever homemade ricotta cheese and mozza. It was paired with a Tabbouleh Salad featuring bulgar wheat, tomatoes, cucumbers along with fresh oregano, green onions, chives, mint and parsley with a lemon dressing.

The making and creating of our large parade puppet continues! Artists Nadia Cheechoo and Julia Tribe are discovering this mystical creature, part bird of prey, part owl, part night sky kissed by the northern lights, come to life. Watch for puppets coming to the streets of Thunder Bay. Want to get involved? Email [email protected].
Special thanks to the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario for helping to fund our Embracing Our Diversity through Puppetry Project.

Had a wonderful summer day with the kindergarten class from Gorham & Ware Community School today. They planted up our raised beds with beans, peas, beets, and squash. They planted many of our cedar planters with beautiful annuals and made fluttering butterfly and dragonfly stick puppets for a flying insect parade. They explored the property while on a scavenger hunt for different plants, seeds, bugs, cones, leaves, and bird songs. Snack and free playtime made the day complete.

Another season of growing at the Simpson St. Community Garden has begun. How wonderful to see the bulbs we planted last fall up and blooming. We are so excited to see all the apple trees we planted, transplanted, and pruned last summer are all leafing out, and some are starting to bloom.
We will be gardening every Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 3pm at the Simpson St. Community Garden. If you want to join us, we would love to have you stop in and give us a hand.
