Gardening Tips: Not sure if the soil is too cold to plant those early vegetables? Try a soil thermometer! 🌡️ A great way to warm up your garden bed prior to planting is to cover it with a tarp! 20-26 C is a good range to get started. #EdmontonCityFarms
Happy Earth Day! 🌎There are so many ways we can show love for our home planet today. We are committed to restoring Edmonton’s green spaces through our efforts to manage invasive plants in the city, creating a sustainable environment for generations to come 🌱
"A reminder to stay up to date on your pet's license 🐾 Edmonton's Animal Care and Control Centre estimates that less than 35% of dogs in Edmonton are actually licensed. It's vital for safety, and is required to enter an off-leash area. License your pet online at our website."
As the snow begins to melt, take survey of your property to see where the water is collecting. Any areas that can hold water need to be drained regularly. Mosquitoes only need 1/2cm of water depth to develop. For more information edmonton.ca/mosquito
Native flowers, trees and shrubs invite birds, bees, butterflies and essential insects to your yard. Front Yards in Bloom recognizes and awards natural yards in our city, so keep an eye out for contenders this season and let's celebrate biodiversity! 🦋 #fyib2024 #NaturalYard
Our Gardening 101 Workshop is THIS WEDNESDAY!! At Stanley A. Milner Library from 6:00-7:30 pm. If you want to learn how to start your own garden then register by clicking the link app.groupize.com/e/chcp-city-of… #EdmontonCityFarm
"Congratulations to the 30 recipients of Pop-Up Community Gardens! Visit edmonton.ca/popupgardens to see which communities we’re growing in this year! Side note: How many applicants did we have? 183 - of which 30 were awarded PUGs"
With spring comes increased daylight, warmth and plant growth - an ideal time to remove any extension cords or seasonal lighting you have installed in a tree. Objects wrapped around a tree may eventually cut into the bark as the tree grows, sometimes fatally damaging the tree.
Pop-Up Community Gardens are temporary gardens placed on community league licensed land, or city owned parkland. The program helps to reduce barriers to increase growing food in local spaces. Successful 2024 applicants will be announced soon!
Flora Fact Friday: Early detection and rapid response (EDRR) is a proven framework of preventing the spread of invasive plants into new areas. You can play a role by informing yourself of the invasive species around Edmonton and be on the lookout for these when outside.
One week until our Gardening 101 Workshop at Stanley A. Milner Library, 6:00-7:30 pm on April 17th. Learn the basics of gardening and the importance of food empowerment within your community.🚜 Register here app.groupize.com/e/chcp-city-of…
Rats are pests that the City Pest Management Lab monitors for. If you see a rat in Edmonton, report it to 311. Similar looking, muskrats are 30 cm long, and are rounder than invasive rats. They are native here and do not need to be reported.

#EdmontonCityFarms is looking for volunteers! We are a growing community that focuses on urban farming and food empowerment. Last year we donated over 64,000lbs of produce to the Edmonton Food Bank. 🥕 Fill out our volunteer interest form rb.gy/8wzbq5 to get involved.
If you find any yellow-flowered shrubs in your garden this spring, make sure it is not Common barberry, as it is a PROHIBITED NOXIOUS weed which serves as a host for a wheat rust fungus that can decimate crops. Plant chokecherries if you’re still craving berries in the summer!
Gardening is in trend now including former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama who started a vegetable garden in the White House. More and more people are choosing to grow fruits and vegetables in their community/pop up gardens
Did you know April is gardening month! It also is the time for rain, because of all the moisture. There is a saying “April showers bring May flowers”.
Harness the power of rain with rain barrels! Save money on water bills, conserve resources, and nurture your garden effortlessly. Find barrels at your local hardware store or garden centres. Happy collecting! #fyib2024 #watersmart #Sustainability #GreenLiving
Interested in Gardening but don’t know where to start? 🧑🌾 Join us on April 17th for our Gardening 101 Workshop at Stanley A. Milner Library from 6:00-7:30 pm. Register here app.groupize.com/e/chcp-city-of… See you there!! #EdmontonCityFarm 🥕
Involving children and schools in community gardens helps children struggling in academia to flourish. A six year research project on gardening and school children showed children involved in gardening stayed in school, drop out rates decreased from 30% to none in some years.

There are five entry points from the surrounding neighbourhoods to get to the edge of the wetland. Curb cuts providing access for mobility aids and strollers are on the south end of the park. An informal dirt trail runs along the north and west sides of the wetland’s perimeter.
Once the Fulton Creek area was returned to marshland, it was protected officially in 1998 to conserve the native plants and support the wildlife.
The reason to reestablish the wetland was to store stormwater and reduce downstream flooding of Fulton Creek, which flows north from the marsh all the way to the North Saskatchewan River. Marshes are great at preventing flooding, it’s part of their natural design.
As Edmonton grew, the upstream wetland was purposely drained in the 1990s to make way for the Maple community development.
The name comes from the homestead built by the Fulton Family. Leander Fulton came out west from Nova Scotia in 1883 and settled on the traditional lands of Cree, Blackfoot, Metis, Nakoda, Tsuu T’ina and Dene Peoples.
Some of you may have spotted my council colleagues highlighting some of their favourite parks over the course of this summer. My pick-a-park is Fulton Creek Marshland, a 21-hectare wetland just south of Whitemud Drive. #PickAParkYeg #YegParks #Yeg #Yegcc
