HALIFAX – In celebration of the coming of spring and with it an increasingly green city, the Imagine Bloomfield Society is throwing outdoor spring fair this Sunday. The fair will bring together all kinds of folks dedicated to cultivating an ecologically and socially vibrant community, with local business vendors, community gardeners, and non-profit organizations converging to celebrate this local hub. Check out native perennial and heirloom seeds for sale, unique crafts, and family activities.
Since the Bloomfield Centre was threatened with closure in 2004, the community has rallied around the facility, with Imagine Bloomfield at the helm, advocating its use as a space non-profit organizations, recreation, health, community services, commercial ventures and housing. With a new Bloomfield Master Plan passed in September that is largely reflective of the society’s vision, the community gears up for another summer of community gardening, growth and green.

WHEN: Sunday May 16th, 12noon-4pm
