DECA Learns Container Gardening Workshop

Container Gardening Workshop. Saturday May 28th., 2-4pm


Spring has finally sprung! Emphasis on finally. What’s that they say?  May showers bring June flowers?

Next Saturday, join instructor and DECA executive member, Melissa Peretti at Kimbourne United Church (200 Wolverleigh near Coxwell and Danforth) for our latest DECA Learns workshop.

This container gardening workshop is meant for people in the city who want to grow food plants and have little or no access to soil or ground. The information is basic enough for beginners and hopefully informative enough for a more experienced city farmer.

If you want to till your own soil and taste the fruits, leaves and flowers of your labour, then join us!

The benefits of home container gardening include access to your own local, economical, fresh food, cleaner air through living plants, food for pollinators, educational for children …. the list goes on.

Topics will include:

  • Identifying your resources and site assessment
  • Introduction to garden planning
  • Establishing a container garden
  • Selecting containers, soil and plants
  • Seeding
  • Organic fertilizers and natural pest sprays, and
  • Maintenance.

Sign up soon. Space is limited to 20 participants. A $5 donation to DECA will be appreciated for future community projects.
