Gardening class pictures

These are pictures from the 2011 Gardening Class 101. We went from a backyard that only had grass to a backyard with 9 raised beds and enough produce to feed several families. Our teacher Kim Keckes from Moondance Organic Gardens, was excellent. I had never gardened before and as you can see from the pictures, we had a lot of success. If you wish to join the class this year, contact us as soon as you can. Cut off is March 15th. We only have room for 15 participants. Perhaps some of you “Last year gardeners” would like to take the advance course at Moondance Organic Gardens. Email Karen at rightmove@sympatico.ca or call 705-721-6867
