The sessions, which look to be of interest to new and experienced gardeners alike, are:
What is Permaculture? Ecological Design for Gardens and More – January 15, 2015, facilitated by Bonita Ford, Permaculture Institute of Eastern Ontario
Seed Saving – January 20, 2015, facilitated by Greta Kryger, Greta’s Organic Garden

You need to register for the workshops, which take place at various community centres around town; contact communitygardening@justfood.ca or phone (613) 699-6850 x12. The first three workshops are $10 each (or pay-what-you-can); the fourth, Herbal Tips & Tricks, is free.
