Ever wonder what those weird brown spots are on the bottom of your tomatoes? Come learn the basics of plant health - how to identify diseases, deficiencies and excesses of nutrients and what to do about it!

If you start to pay attention, you can see a diversity of wild plants growing in alleyways and wherever they can find places to seed in the city. Come learn about wild plants and their role in the garden as food, natural insecticides, fertilizers, etc...

Given by a certified herbalist, this workshop introduces you to traditional herbalism et the many plants (wild and cultivated) that grow all around us; their history, virtues, how and when to harvest and the different ways they can be used.

Alternatives Days FROM LOCAL ACTION TO GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP 8-9-10 SEPTEMBER This is what the 2005 Alternatives Days proposes : To create spaces for debating the struggles and alliances that inspire us by demonstrating how each of these battles, however local, is part of a global resistance for the common good.

At the final in our series of summer workshop, we will be looking at techniques for harvest, transformation and conservation of garden products in preparation for the fall and winter seasons. RSVP and more details with Jane at (514)286-5115.

September has arrived and it's time to start thinking about the fall harvest, wrapping up the garden for the year, and celebrating our second year on the roof - the garden itself, the time and energy volunteers and community members have put into the space, and the good times we've all spent together up on high.
