Register online to participate in a Homegrown Mississauga workshop to learn the fundamentals of how to plant fall crops, save seeds and get your garden ready for fall.
Do you want to keep your garden going this fall? The City, in partnership with Ecosource, is hosting a series of Homegrown Mississauga gardening workshops throughout the growing season. This “Fall Season Garden Care and Maintenance” workshop is the third in the series, which will run in September and October.
These workshops support the Urban Agriculture Strategy by teaching residents gardening skills so that they can access healthy foods by growing them close to home.
An in-person workshop for residents with limited or no gardening experience. Residents will learn how to plant fall crops, like garlic and more, save seeds for future use and how to put their garden to bed. This workshop includes a hands-on activity where participants will be saving seeds from seed heads to grow in their garden next spring.
The same “Fall Season Garden Care and Maintenance” workshop will run at four different locations and dates throughout September and October.
- Monday, September 8 at the Malton Community Centre from 5:30-7 p.m. (register online).
- Monday, September 22 at the Burnhamthorpe Library from 5:30-7 p.m. (register online).
