OPIRG-Carleton and the Food Centre Present: A workshop on Organic Gardening for Balconies and Small Spaces
As Part of the Tools for Change Workshop Series
Tuesday March 31st
6pm-8pm
406 Southam Hall (SA)
Do you only have a small space for growing organic vegetables? Do you want to start growing organic vegetables on your balcony? Come to this workshop with Fleurette Huneault.
Fleurette has been growing vegetables for her family on an organically managed site for thirty years. In 1998 she joined the Master Gardeners of Ottawa and obtained a Horticultural Certificate from Guelph University. Since then, she has spoken on the topics of organic xeriscaping and organic vegetable gardening and given courses promulgating small space vegetable gardening at events such as Seedy Saturday, Seeds of Hope, Bytown Urban Garden Growers Lecture Series, Ottawa University Organic Growers Group, Ottawa Library Lecture Series, Food Security Council of Ottawa now JUST FOOD Lecture Series, and Canadian Organic Growers’ Spring Workshop Series.
Fleurette's courses emphasize how rewarding it is to grow your own vegetables even in small gardens or in balcony and patio containers. The underlying theme is organic growing.
