Green thumbs needed for Community Garden project
Chetwynd residents will test their mettle as garden cultivators this summer in a community garden at the west end of Chetwynd General Hospital. About 20 residents attended a library meeting to learn how to get involved and form a volunteer committee to sustain the garden after this year. The project is funded by the Union of BC Municipalities Health Promotion Fund.
