Gardening workshops in Kingston

Be sure to head to the Sunnyside Garden Party this Saturday, June 18th for good food, good folks, and good workshops!

Square Foot Gardening – June 18th, 11am-12pm, Sunnyside Community Garden (on MacDonnell at Brock)
Square Foot Gardening is a condensed, all natural method of gardening that grows more food in less space, with less time, less water and less work. Learn more about this innovative approach to urban gardening in a one hour workshop facilitated by Wess Garrod of WillGrow Gardens, and see a sample garden close up.

Garlic Growing and Natural Pest Control – June 18th, 1-2 pm, Sunnyside Community Garden (on Madonnell at Brock)
Familiarize yourself with ways to control pests naturally, including growing garlic.  Participants will learn about planting and growing garlic and will be invited to make a natural pest control potion that saves money and avoids poisoning. Facilitated by Tim Lyon of Main St. Market.
