Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Saturday, March 25, 2023.
Join Master Gardener, Pablo Vimos, in exploring the benefits of growing a square-foot garden! In this hands-on workshop, Pablo will show you how this simple method can optimize all your available garden space and allow you to grow a lot of food in a small space. Square foot gardening can be adapted to gardeners of all experience levels and physical abilities, and can reduce water use. You’ll leave with printed information, and some seedlings to plant in your own garden! Sign up to gain hands-on experience … and get ready to get dirty! Sliding scale – pay what you can ($5/$10/$15 options)
NOTE: The nature of the activity is such that you may interact with other people who are considered to be in good health, continuous physical distance between other people cannot be guaranteed, and, by participating in the activity, you are at risk of being infected by a pathogen, including but not limited to SARS-COV-2. SARS-COV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19, may exacerbate other health issues and is the cause of an ongoing global pandemic. SARS-COV-2 is highly communicable and dangerous. If you become infected with SARS-COV2, you may transmit it to other people even if you are not exhibiting symptoms of illness.
Communicable Disease Health & Safety Practices: • Participants should assess themselves daily for symptoms of common cold, influenza, COVID-19, or other infectious respiratory disease before attending a program. • Participants who are ill, including participants of essential service providers, should not attend a program or access the Community Centre. If you are unsure, you should self-isolate and contact 8-1-1 or the local public health unit. • All participants are encouraged to practice proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette by covering coughs or sneezes.
