No Till Gardening Workshop
Wednesday April 22nd Prairie Rose Senior Activity Center (731 2 Ave, Wainwright, AB)

Join the M.D. of Wainwright and Kim Ross owner of Kross Farm for an informative evening learning about no till gardening!

If you love to garden but hate weeding and watering, join us as we explore no till gardening with Kim Ross. Through the use of permanent growing beds and mulch, no till gardening protects the soil’s structure and will reduce the amount of water needed on the garden, prevent weeds from growing and increase yields through an improvement in the quality of the soil. Kim will share how no till works and demonstrate how no till has changed what gardening means in her life.

Schedule:
6:00-6:30pm Registration and Refreshments
6:30-8:30pm No Till Gardening Presentation and Q&A
