The bake-off is scheduled and my mouth is already watering! Everyone is welcome to bring a blackberry treat to share so long as you promise when you were picking the blackberries you destroyed the blackberry bush in the process (or at least knocked it back enough that it is managed and not spreading).
Dishes need to be low risk foods (check out page 8: http://www.vch.ca/Documents/Guidelines-for-sale-of-foods-at-temporary-food-markets.pdf) – basically, there is no refrigeration at the Demonstration Garden, if your treat needs to be refrigerated please reconsider a different recipe.
The event is later than usual this year (Aug. 22) and fruit everywhere is ripening much earlier so make sure you get out early to pick your berries.
