YVC - Airdrie Youth Program

Small but mighty crew tonight 💪🌱

We got so much done — weeding, fixing the fence, planting tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🌶️… and even squeezed in a movement break thanks to Madelaine!
Our garlic from is looking absolutely amazing 🤩

And… exciting news 🐝✨
The bees have officially arrived! The hives were dropped off tonight, and we can’t wait to watch them settle in and do their thing. The beekeeper is setting up a “work” Instagram page — we’ll share it as soon as it’s live so you can follow along!

Grateful for these productive, joy-filled evenings in the garden 💚

🎉 THREE YEARS OF GROWTH. IMPACT. COMMUNITY. 🎉

To every youth volunteer, family, partner, supporter, and community organization — THANK YOU for believing in the mission of YVC Airdrie.

Together, we are building a stronger, kinder, more connected community… one volunteer hour at a time.

🚀 The future is bright, and we’re just getting started.

Lots of weeding, watering, and planting at the community garden tonight 🌱💧🌿

Nothing beats getting your hands dirty and seeing the space come to life!

Huge shoutout to Kent 🙌 for the amazing donation of peppers, herbs, and tomatoes — can’t wait to watch these grow! 🍅🌶️🌱
