SUMMARY:Remembering the Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we gather with community to talk about remembering and reconnecting to the medicines that once grew here\, and the important role we can all play in supporting Indigenous peoples as we help restore relationships to land\, plants\, and traditional knowledge through connection\, respect and responsibility. \nTanya Gluvakov is a mixed Mohawk woman with family and “roots” from 6 Nations of the Grand River in Oshweken\, Ontario. She grew up in Toronto and is now spearheading projects that bring the resurgence of medicines and accessibility to urban communities. \nShe is teaching several workshops about medicines from the land and how connecting with them helps us find our way. \nShe is an herbalist\, a mom\, a teacher\, an auntie and the founder of Roots and Raven. \nShe grows and harvests many of the medicines from her own medicine garden and some honorably collected from the Land. \n“Our hope is for our community members to remember that they are never alone – we are all connected to each other and to the natural world.” \nMaximum 20 registrants\, drop-ins welcome space allowing. \nIdeal for ages 16+.

SUMMARY:Backyard Beekeeping: The Joys and the Struggles
DESCRIPTION:Drawn from his own experience of starting with a single hive in a townhome backyard\, to mentoring new beekeepers (while managing over a hundred hives)\, Robert will share about the joys and struggles of keeping bees. \nThere are few things in nature as awe inspiring as standing in the midst of a swarm of bees. Alternatively\, there are few things as discouraging as opening a hive with high yield expectations\, only to find your bees lifeless on the bottom board. What can new or aspiring beekeepers expect in their first few years? Robert will share stories and insights from his own beekeeping journey. \nJevan Robert Ballantyne is a beekeeper\, flower farmer and contractor based out of Mono\, Ontario.

SUMMARY:From Scraps to Soil: Vermicomposting Made Simple
DESCRIPTION:This session is perfect for sustainability-minded gardeners ready to harness the power of worms! You will discover the fundamentals of vermicomposting and its powerful benefits for soil health and garden productivity. Participants will get hands-on guidance for creating and maintaining a simple worm bin – turning everyday kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich “garden gold”\, a valuable\, closed loops garden resource. \nThe People Behind the Worms\nMy name is Callie. I am first a mother\, second a nurse\, and–somewhat unintentionally–have become a worm enthusiast.\nOur journey began five years ago with 500 “squirmy wormies” living in a bin in our kitchen. What started as a simple introduction to vermicomposting in pursuit of sustainability quickly grew into an abundance of worms\, lots of worm poop (castings)\, and two curious young minds (children\, not worms) with a deep appreciation for small but mighty creatures and the environment they call home. \nWhat began as a small-scale learning experiment has since evolved into a thriving vermicomposting practice and a desire to share this knowledge with our community. Through hands-on education and accessible workshops\, I now help people of all ages discover the environmental\, soil\, and garden benefits of vermicomposting–and how even small actions can create meaningful change… and wonder. \nFrom our kitchen to your garden\, this is about learning\, sustainability\, and letting worms do what they do best while we reap the many benefits. \nMaximum 20 registrants\, drop-ins welcome space allowing. \nIdeal for ages 16+.
