The Shulus Community Gardens grow fresh, pesticide free produce for the Lower Nicola Indian Band Community.  Indoor seeds are planted in March to April, and the seeds are planted directly into the garden May Long Weekend.  This year the garden with use row covers to plant under and companion plants for pest management.  There are compost bins and a worm farm to help amend and fertilize garden soil.  The Shulus Community Garden is twice the size for vegetable crops and the Medicine Garden will available to plant traditional food, teas, herbs and medicinal plants.  A portable from the LNIB School has been relocated to the south end of the garden area.  We will use the portable as a garden office and a class room to host garden workshops.  The Community is encouraged to get involved with the community garden programs and activities.
