SUMMARY:Grow With The Flow: Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a special evening at Kind Space for socializing and talking about plants. This month we’re partnering with Centretown Community Health Centre’s Growing Resistance Garden Club! They have a rooftop community garden that they work on\, and we can take a trip with them to the garden and help them work on it. \n\n\n\nWe’ll be meeting up with the Growing Resistance Garden Club at Kind Space for 5:30pm\, and then as a group we’ll be heading to the rooftop garden at 6pm. If you show up late\, you’ll need to call Kind Space to let you into the garden\, as the building and the garden are automatically locked at 6pm. \n\n\n\nThis is an all ages event. Children twelve years of age or younger need to be accompanied by an adult. Minors (ages 13-17) will need to provide an emergency contact. \n\n\n\nMaximum Participants: 10 people Deadline for Registration: 3pm on Thurs June 25th. \n\n\n\nIf you do not register before the deadline\, you might be turned away at the door. We are no longer taking walk-ins for programs and events. We also cannot take more than 10 people this time because of how small the garden is\, so there’s a chance that registration will close early as soon as we reach 10 people registered.
