The SLUGS application deadline has now passed, but we are still accepting late applications from those last-minute folks who are still interested. Email it (sitemgr@compost.bc.ca), fax it (250-386-9678), or drop it by our office (1216 North Park St). Spring is fast approaching and so is the program start date, so send your applications in as soon as you can.
We'd like to extend a big thank you to two generous organizations for their support of SLUGS! Stellar Seeds in Sorrento, B.C. has donated a huge box of organic heritage seeds to the program for the youth to use this season and they look amazing. Vancity enviroFund generously awarded a grant to help support the SLUGS program and all our projects, gardens, fieldtrips, and events! A huge thank you to both of them, their support is deeply appreciated.
And if YOU would like to support us, we would gladly accept in-kind donations! Gardening can be a tool-intensive and expensive passion to take up, so we are looking for donations of good quality, good condition tools and other supplies for the SLUGS program. If you have any of the below items and would like to donate them to us, please us at call 250-386-9676!
