Gardens and Cycling – Great Ways to Stay Active in COVID times!
Like all of us trying to find our way in the time of COVID, the Deanery Project has been searching for how it can best support our communities. Staying active, being outdoors and learning how to do both, while maintaining physical distancing, is super challenging but possible.
The Deanery is blessed with land and buildings as well as skilled staff & volunteers. We are beginning to roll out programs that enable us to tap into all those resources so we can help build resiliency to respond to COVID realities. Our first efforts will be small while we learn how best to insure safety protocols are adhered to, but plans are underway to offer more opportunities to connect with nature and learning, as the summer and fall unfold.
Our June programs include:
COVID Bike Day: June 7 (two sessions) 10;00- 12:00 and 2:00- 4:00
COVID Woodcraft Day: June 20 (two sessions) 10;00- 12:00 and 2:00- 4:00
2020 Garden Club: June 1 – September 31
We are also hosting a Fundraiser Tree and Perennial Plant Sale on June 6. We are selling sapling trees raised in our wonderful Acadian Tree nursery. List of species is posted on our FB page. Orders must be placed by June 5th by phone at 902-845-1888, or email: thedeaneryproject@gmail.com. 
If you are thinning out your garden, donations of perennials and transplants would be so appreciated! These will be used as part of the fundraiser, or will be shared through our Community Pantry. Donations of plants can be dropped off at any time at the bottom of the Deanery driveway by the Community Pantry. (751 W. Ship Harbour Rd). Please be sure to label them with plant name. We will have labels available at the drop off area.
Many thanks!! Let’s grow the Shore!
