The Planting Party is set for Sunday, August 5th from 10AM to 4 PM at the cul de sac end of Overlook in the far east of the side of the neighbourhood .
The garden project was launched back in early May, with Transition Prince Rupert joining in to help build on the community efforts and lend some assistance in accessing funding.

| Overlook Residents are hosting a Planting Party this Sunday as they begin to fill in the garden beds created for their Community Garden on the east side of Prince Rupert (click on map to enlarge) |
Among some of the work to be tackled this Sunday: filling the beds with soil, transplanting the seedlings from greenhouse to beds and the installation of the fence and gates.
Organizers note that the project has gone a bit over budget, so donations are being accepted, as well to help with the cost of the project, the group has plans to make plants available for sale, along with a popcorn sale planned for Sunday.
You can find out more about their Sunday plans here.
More background on the project is available through the Transition Prince Rupert Facebook page.
Some of our past notes on the work in progress can be found below:

May 3 -- Overlook residents make plans for community garden, with help from Transition Prince Rupert
The concept of Community Gardens is an area which Mayor Lee Brain has taken a particular interest in over the last few years, included as one of the themes as part of his recent Sustainable City 2030 initiative presentation to City Council.
