Winter Gardening in Muskoka

Submitted Thu, 2008-02-28 07:46 — wildedu

Hi all, I would like to invite interested people to a day of disscusion (March 15th) around winter gardening and seed saving here at our little farm in Muskoka.
We have had a winter garden for 5 years now and are ready to share the up's and downs of it all. Further to all of that is the whole seed thing which I don't feel we are paying enough attention to, I find that there is still lots of people out there that still find this process a little mystifying. We have been saving seeds and reusing them and sharing them on our farm for about 10 years and will allways have a reserve of seeds.
We can do a little tour of our greenhouse (winter garden) and have a discussion.
We can Check out our root celler and talk about that.
We can discuss the seed saving thing and the posibilities of a little seed bank(co-op?)
If you bring some lunch we can have something to eat.
Call if you are interested.

Weekend Permaculture Design Course in Columbus, Ohio

“Help green the city and prepare for climate change. Build networks of support and empower yourself with the skills of ecological design as we search for the roots of permanent culture”

Description: Over five weekends (Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays), we will present the permaculture design curriculum with special emphasis on urban applications, strategies for changing climate and building local networks of support.

The class will implement at least one of the design projects by rehabilitating an old orchard as a forest garden on the 40-acre campus of the United Methodist Children’s Home in Worthington; helping to move this historic institution back to its agricultural roots and forward to a second century of sustainability.

The course is co-sponsored by Simply Living Columbus, and the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association, and UMCH. Some work-trade scholarships will be available.

Instructors: Peter Bane, Rhonda Baird and guests.
Cost: $895 including weekend lunches and course materials, $150 deposit required.

Recruit and register at least three folks from your own community or organization’s "guild" and work together following the guidelines for an individual work/trade scholarship. The teachers will consider each of these requests for special guild discounting. Contact us.
