CBC's Do Crew will be doing some fall gardening at the Bayers Westwood Family Resources Centre next week.  

We'll be weeding, planting garlic and mulching at the centre's Hugs Community Garden. So if gardening is your thing, or you want to learn, this is the Do Crew for you.

The Bayers Westwood Family Resources Centre is a secure, supportive learning place for community members. It offers parenting support, community gardens, a youth group, free skill training and free preschool education, among other things. It's a busy, friendly, bustling place where community members work together.
