We will be selling bedding plants again this year! I have been in the greenhouse growing a variety of flowers and vegetables.. will be opening mid May until the end of June. I will post in the near future when we will be open weather permitting. Unfortunately we no longer have a bridge with the only road access being Cedar Street, or you can park on the other side of the bridge and walk across. Hope to see you all soon!

Well a new year is upon us and we are still trying to get over the loss and of our beloved Newcastle Centre bridge! As you may or may not be aware of, the government closed our bridge this past September. We were hoping for a replacement of the bridge but the government has proposed building a new road next to the old mine road that we are currently using. When you talk to the locals they will tell you that building a road through mine cuts would be a money pit. We do not want a road we want our community back! We are a community cut off from our neighbours on the other side! As a result we are not opening our vegetable stand this summer and will be just opening May and June for bedding plant sales. We are not overly optimistic that even this will be viable as we have virtually had no traffic since the bridge closed. It’s a big ask to expect people to travel down our alternate dirt road in the spring. We would ask if you could help our bridge committee by writing a letter before March 15th to Minister Chiasson to let the government know the negative impact the closing of the bridge has affected you and your family. Email letters to [email protected] and it will be forwarded on to the Minister. If you wish to hand write a letter you can drop off to us and we will scan for you and forward.
This is not just Newcastle Centre’s loss but a loss to the Grand Lake community! Thanks in advance for your help!
