Come learn with us at the Shuswap Community Teaching Garden (SCTG) through the week and with opportunities on weekends too.
SCTG Staff means we have a person at the garden working and they are also available to provide a tour, information and gardening advice. On Thursday evenings, Elmarie, our resident Permaculture advocate and educator is available to answer questions and also eager to have helpers to learn-while-doing in the Permaculture Display Garden.
Once the growing season takes off, Tuesdays will also include a Harvest Day where we harvest as much as is ready to take down to the Second Harvest Food Bank.
This year, we are alternating weekends during the month with 2 Saturday Work Bees and 2 Sunday Work Bees to attempt to accommodate many schedules! Most often they are from 10-12pm but check in with the calendar.
For larger events, including educational opportunities, we’ll mark those down here as well as have additional information in the upcoming events section above.
Listed here too is the Lighthouse Community Food Forest as an opportunity to learn more about this collaboration with the Salvation Army Market and Lekker Land Design. On Wednesdays, you can come learn more about the project, Permaculture, and how you can lend a hand to provide nourishing veggies to our community… FOR FREE!
Shuswap Food Action has initiated a Shuswap Permaculture Guild (club) as well which has a separate email address to connect with in order to be kept in-the-loop. Email shuswappermaculture@gmail.com to sign up for their email list.
