Clean and Green series

This series focuses on being more environmentally conscious. With presentations focusing on being more sustainable, homeopathic and natural. Past workshops have included creating natural tonics and growing your own garden. We are exploring topics of growing your own food, foraging, gathering seeds and more. Let us know if you have a specific interest you want to see included!

Clean & Green: Adult Seed Starting Workshop

Master Gardeners of Grey will be here Tuesday March 26th at 6:30pm to teach you how to best start your seeds indoors. Learn everything you need to know about how to begin your garden right and leave with a full tray of seeds to grow at home. Located in the Community Hall, Cost $15.

Coming Soon: Foraging for Beginners. Watch your programming emails for more information.


Older and Wiser series
