It was a lovely day and there was a very good turn out at the Home and Garden Tour which is a fund raiser for PHC (People for a Healthy Community). We were able to view most of the 11 fabulous homes and gardens that were on display in the four hours that we had committed to. The gardens ranged from compact displays surrounding patios and walkways to rolling acreage with hidden paths and quiet glens ringed in a riot of color. There were a multitude of fragrant roses and many flowers and shrubs that I have not seen before, very impressive! And the homes were truly inspiring. It was a
wonderful way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.

On June 9th Robert of Robert’s Place will be donating food and time to cook up a lunch as a fundraiser for People for a Healthy Community! The cost of lunch will be by donation and all the funds raised will be donated to PHC. PHC recently got word that the Gaming Commission grant money they have come to depend on will be 4 1/2 months later than expected. The above is one of the
fundraisers that will be going on over the next few months to help carry them through until the next available money is released. Please come and enjoy a lunch knowing that the money will be going to a good cause, helping to feed people in our community through the Food Bank and Soup Socials.

On Saturday May 1st between 1 and 3pm in Folklife Village on Gabriola Pat Maloney, Kerry Sorrenti and myself, will be shaking our can for money! Well the PHC (people for a healthy community) garbage can to be exact:) This is part of the Shake Your Can Drive put on by the Gabriola Arts Council on Saturday to help raise money for many of the Charity/Non-Profit organizations on Gabriola. Swing through the village on Saturday and toss your spare change into a good cause of your choice!

I am a board member at People for a Healthy Community (PHC) and we have entered an artistic garbage can, designed by Gabriola’s very own Jeff Molloy, in the Art Councils “Shake your Can” event. Done with the encaustic method and utilizing Jeff’s common crow theme this is a fabulous one of a kind piece of art. Drop by Artworks for the Trashformation opening on April 22 at 7 pm to see our can and if you like it – please toss in your change (or large unmarked bills) as a donation to PHC. If you really like it, come to the Mother’s Day brunch and auction at the Surf Lodge on May 9 and buy the can, with proceeds from the can and auction of said can going to PHC! It will be a fantastic fundraiser for many groups on Gabriola and imagine how great they will look in your yard:)

It was a beautiful and sunny Sunday and what better way to spend it than wandering through other peoples gardens and homes, getting ideas and admiring their efforts. Yesterday was the 11th annual ‘Gabriola Home and Garden Tour’ which is a fund raiser for ‘People for a Healthy Community on Gabriola’. Hundreds of tickets were sold and as usual it was a great success with two homes and nine gardens on display.
