No more burrs! Join us on Saturday June 11 from 9 am -11 am to pull out burdock

You may have noticed that the burdock has been spreading quickly around the rink and dog park.  By mid-summer we will be picking burrs out of our dog's fur and our childrens' clothes.  Never much fun. 

This year we are going to try to reduce the spread of burdock by plucking the plants before they have produced the burrs.  Come join us around the dog park and rink on Saturday June 11 from 9 am to 11 am to help pluck out the plants.  And once you are in the park, why not take the opportunity to check out the bounty at the farmers' market at the north end of the park.  After all, who doesn't need a treat after some garden work?

See you on Saturday and don't forget to bring some gardening gloves!
