It is good for both beginners or intermediate gardeners who have questions or want to confirm their practices growing food in the Ottawa region.
How will the workshop be structured?
This interactive online webinar will begin with a “classroom session” with lots of pictures, followed by a demonstration and Q&A with the instructor. *Note that there will be a chat feature which you will be able to use to ask questions during the workshop!
