Come and learn about starting seedlings from Transition Toronto member and gardener YP Leung! She'll fill us in on timing, techniques, and best practices as we get our hands into some soil, the soil into trays, and start growing our own food.

Bring a plastic bag so you can carry your seed trays home with you!

$5 participation fee

Join Nova Scotia Young Naturalists and Project WET team for some fun activities designed to get us thinking about water – its importance and how we need to work together to protect it. Activities are based on the Project WET Curriculum Guide, an international program which provides educators with hands-on, interactive, activities for learning about water in a variety of settings. They also have groundwater and watershed models, which show how water moves above and below the surface of the Earth.
