There are TWO awesome opportunities for you coming up right away!
First of all, Sharon McGettigan has graciously offered to host a workshop at her new venture,
Mother Earth's Medicine Chest,
on Saturday May 7th, from 2-4 p.m.
The building is at 227 Kelly Road, next to the SPCA.
She will talk specifically about greenhouse growing, having had a commercial greenhouse in the past, as well as experience here in town with her own private greenhouse! Don't miss out on a chance to ask questions from someone who really knows what plants grow best, what varieties work well in greenhouses, what about intercropping, companion planting, how to improve the soil for what you are growing... There is no charge for this workshop, but there will be a pot for donations for the use of the space...
Just a few days later, the library is presenting
The Urban Farmer
7-9 p.m. on May 10th -
Edson Recycling has sponsored him to be here, and i'm sure he'll have a ton to teach you about growing an "edible garden"! Check out his inspiring website here at http://theurbanfarmer.ca/ and come prepared with your questions - get ready to be challenged and educated by Ron Berezan!
The next workday is coming up, and we'll finish filling the plots that are already in the greenhouse, and then basically we are ready to start sowing seeds!
