Welcome to Your New Home!The Victory Garden is Looking Fabulous!In July, our Community Memberswere very busy weeding, tilling andplanting our Victory Garden. It is trulythrough the efforts of all who cameout that the garden looks so great.

We had an absolutely beautiful day

to enjoy one another’s companyand engage in conversation whiledesigning and planting the garden.

This year we are growing tomatoesfor The Mississauga Food Bank togive back to the hungry of our area.As TMFB slogan states: “Fighting

Hunger, Feeding Hope”. It feels goodto know that we are doing our smallpart to help others that live right in

our neighborhood.

You will notice that there are herbs growing in the garden. Anthony, ourExecutive Chef, has been out there  gathering many different herbs that now are being prepared in yourV!VA licious meals.

Please take the time to walk aroundthe Victory Garden and enjoy theflowers as they grow and mature.You will find a group of dedicatedCommunity Members who water the garden after supper every day. Whynot join them for a chat and enjoythe view? The more the merrier!
