Please join Brent
Pitcher, caretaker of the Wissatinnewag gardens, on Saturday, September 10th and Saturday, September 17th, 9am-1pm
both days. Tasks may include: preparing the Sweet grass garden for planting
and planting the sweet grass, watering, well-digging. Brent can be reached at

The three sisters and ceremonial tobacco gardens are well
underway. Unfortunately, the sweet grass died off. To restore this garden
(picture attached), topsoil must be spread, the soil fertilized and then the
plants put in. Meanwhile, significant improvements at Wissatinnewag have been
made in the last month thanks to generous benefactors, The driveway was widened, gravel spread and a
gravel road now leads to the gardens. Previously, it was all sand and there was
always the risk of cars getting stuck. You will see in the background of the
picture of the garden requiring attention, the new shed being erected just a
few days ago.
