Description: 

Grow a garden in a burlap sack! Vertical gardening is the answer to all urban small-space gardening woes. You may have seen people growing potatoes in burlap sacks but this technique allows you to grow a whole garden in a sack pretty much anywhere where there is sun. Vertical gardens may not solve world hunger but growing edible plants from seed to food is a small step toward understanding our role in food justice and food sovereignty. It’s a connection to the nature that surrounds us and is within us that we are never separate from but may sometimes seem far away when living in a city or inside our heads. Urban gardening is a small movement with big ripple effects in which absolutely everybody in any space is able to participate. This workshop will be demonstration-only but we will have some sacks and plant seedlings to give away if you would like to try this at home. Meet in the Hastings Garden.

Notes:
NOTE: The nature of the activity is such that you may interact with other people who are considered to be in good health, continuous physical distance between other people cannot be guaranteed, and, by participating in the activity, you are at risk of being infected by a pathogen, including but not limited to SARS-COV-2. SARS-COV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19, may exacerbate other health issues and is the cause of an ongoing global pandemic. SARS-COV-2 is highly communicable and dangerous. If you become infected with SARS-COV2, you may transmit it to other people even if you are not exhibiting symptoms of illness.

• Participants who are ill, including participants of essential service providers, should not attend a program or access the Community Centre. If you are unsure, you should self-isolate and contact 8-1-1 or the local public health unit.
