GROW YOUR OWN FOOD COURSE

Grow Your Own Food Course Registration

Howdy! Thanks for your interest in signing up for our "Grow Your Own Food Course," a unique opportunity for individuals passionate about cultivating their own fresh, organic produce right in their backyards.

Our sessions are designed to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to transform your green spaces. You'll explore topics ranging from seed selection and soil preparation to pest management and sustainable gardening practices. The curriculum is meticulously crafted to provide a holistic understanding of the gardening process, equipping you with the confidence to sustainably grow your favourite fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Under the guidance of expert educator and grower Alyssa Dawn, each participant will learn from course handouts as well as hands-on learning in the soil of the GYOF garden plots.

Full course participants turn theory into practice either with your own 4x8’ garden plot, or by participating in a communal bed with other participants (good for those of you who don’t feel you can commit to tending your own plot all season). Cultivate, experiment, and witness the journey from seed to harvest. This course caters to all levels of gardening enthusiasts, ensuring that you can nurture your own thriving green haven.

New in 2024, we are offering single or multi-sessions - sign up for one or a few courses and join the learning! Single & multi-sessions do not include your own plot, but plots may be available for an additional $40 for the season.

Course Dates: April 16 - September 03 (Every other Tuesday) 6:30 - 8:00 PM
