Sunriver Community Garden: New Garden Coordinator
Meet Paula McCormick, our new garden coordinator. The Sooke Food CHI Board has contracted Paula to fill the position Emily Moreland has held for the last two years. The Board welcomes Paula to the gardens where she will bring years of experience to help and nurture us to grow produce successfully. Her primary duties are to coordinate the growing of food in the Sooke food CHI plots and greenhouse for Sooke’s helping agencies and be there as a mentor for all the allotment gardeners.
Most of you have likely met Paula as she worked in the garden centre at Sooke Home Hardware for years. She is also a Master Gardener, and runs Junior Master Gardener (JMG) summer camps at Glendale Gardens (Horticultural Center of the Pacific). Paula also enjoys working with families and children here in Sooke.
Paula’s hours are WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS 1 pm to 4pm, she can be contacted at: sunriver-mentor@sookefoodchi.ca
