As cities grow and demands on our time increase, invariably, we opt for convenience when available. This usually means an increase in single use disposable items such as prepared food containers, packaged chemical cleaning solutions and other such functional products. Most of our materials truthfully can’t be recycled and without a doubt, a great deal ends up in the great Pacific garbage patch as shipping containers fall off ships with our plastic “recycling” bound for China.
Get in the mood for spring at this annual event! Visit local environmental groups, get your garden supplies for 2015, and learn about how to get started with vermiculture!
Learn how to live more sustainably, exchange seeds with other seed savers, buy heirloom and organic seeds or join a workshop on sprouting, soil improvement, and more. Then stop by one of our local garden clubs’ tables and ask an expert!
This day promises to be fun for everyone, with 40+ vendor tables including heirloom seed vendors, green exhibits, bee products, worm composting, backyard gardening, garden associations and regional organizations such as LEAF, the TRCA and Rouge Park. And there will be kids activities too.
